Slide about a bit on the non-Recardo leather seats and turning circle is terrible.

Living with it
Reliability
Never failed to start first time. Apart from early rattles, no further problems.
Image
I'm in love with it and second looks are guaranteed. Larger standard wheels should have been fitted.
Comfort
Travel at speed in luxury with the sweet whistling sound of the turbo and the five pot churning.

Security and Service
Security
Still got it! However, I initially found the remote key fob could easily open the car if put in pocket too close to the car without knowing.
Service
Dealer service, not manufacturer. Pre-sales excellent. After-sales very poor.
