Value
I purchased at 6 months old, 400 miles, and saved nearly £10k. A wonderful car for the price of a Mondeo!
Costs
Better than my Espace.

Driving
Wonderful. I can say no more.
Performance
6 speed box and huge torque make the car wonderful to drive. Does suffer from a little torque steer, but it just adds to the fun. A car to be driven. Leave the stereo off and just listen to the engine, it is a dream. But watch the speedo!

Reliability
Better than my previous BMW and VW. A few minor electrical faults, but nothing major.
Image
It is beautiful, cool and stylish. Forget German, this is the best.
Comfort
I am 6' 5" tall and am comfortable in front or back. I can not fit in a 5 series. Wonderful for all.
