Economy
Value
Asked Craig at Caledonia, Preston, to look out for a demonstrator to my spec and three weeks later he found it for me. Good saving on new, low mileage and just 10 months old.
Costs
Insurance is high but the difference between previous car and this is well worth paying for the difference in drive experience.

Good to drive, seems like I have been driving it for years instead of weeks.

It is pretty good so far. Plenty of power when needed.

Reliability
Read lots of bad reports but decided to find out for myself. So far I am delighted with it.
Image
The most admired car I have ever owned. Not many about so it attracts a lot of attention. Had dealer fit alloy wheels, s/steel exhaust tailpipe and CD changer.
Comfort
The driver's and front passenger seat amongst the most comfortable I have sat in.

Security and Service
Security
Seems pretty secure, time will tell but I have taken out the GAP insurance just in case!
Service
Read a lot of bad comments, heard a few too. However Caledonia at Preston have been great so far. Craig and Ben in sales were really good to deal with. Everything they promised they delivered and have continued to be helpful.
