Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Overall a very nice car to drive, ride and handling are good on the 17" non-runflat tyres, quick enough and frugal. Hate the Mild Hybrid Technology though, engine cuts out whilst driving, seemingly at random causing loss of engine breaking, can't see older cars being reliable due to the wear and tear caused by this,

How reliable do you find the car?

Nearly new car and only covered low mileage so time will tell.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Basic SE is poorly equipped compared to rivals with basic features missing unless spec'd when new. No Folding rear seats, non dipping wing mirrors, part manual seats, no lumbar support etc
