Everything works beautifully. Had some front tyre wear due to known tracking problem on early models. Dealer replaced tyres and corrected with no fuss under warranty.

Roomy and the seats are very comfortable for long journeys. The doors open to 90 degrees for easy access. The rear seats fold down in a snap.
