Driving
Competent car, well laid out interior of good quality

Disappointing when compared to similar spec cars, poorly spaced gear ratios in economy and sport modes

Disappointing reliability of the interior electrics, common problems with climate control, check control computer malfunction, handbrake shoes loose and waterpump failure

For owners of Fords and Vauxhalls - a car to aspire to. It does not warrant that aspiration
Comfort
Good driving position, well laid out controls, good visibility
