In their own words

Great handling and very responsive once warmed up. Noisy - but then I like a throaty diesel sound. Mileage is consistently 50-55 mpg. The faulty passenger window controls puzzled my garage, but I found new ones online at 5 pounds each and they were easy to fit. The extra headroom is nice too. The slow-wiper behaviour though is curious -leisurely one second and very fast the next. And maybe the rivals are a bit cheaper? No regrets though.

How reliable do you find the car?

Passenger electric window controls were not working, but this was easily fixed by replacing switches with aftermarket ones. The wiper sensor behaves erratically in slow speed, but I can live with that.
