Living with it
Reliability
When first bought there was a major problem in engine cutting out. The dealer engineers spent 7 days locating what was a manf problem, dry joint. This had been there since manf and was the reason why it was sold, 2 yrs old and only 12000mls on clock.
Image
It looks good and feels good, I'm proud of it.
Comfort
The seats could be a little more supportive.

Security and Service
Security
No problems so far, just don't press the key inadvertently, which is easy done.
Service
After threatening them to return my money, after we found the manufacturing fault, all was done to rectify the fault under warranty.
