Dealer services and parts are costly. Lots of cheap imitation parts now available, but keep well away!!

Excellent on fuel when driven sensibly. Not so bad when you put the pedal to the metal.

Driving
Fun to drive. Excellent cornering ability. Probably the 17" rims assisting the ASC.
Performance
Lots of midrange power, but lacks during take off, maybe because it's an auto!!

No serious problems, except slight overheating which I've been told is common??
