Driving
Great on country lanes and cruising, no problem in town.
Performance
Big car, at 5k the engine roars like a cougar (fantastic), speed suddenly very fast. Engine revs seem to mount very fast so need to be careful in low gears. Can go from 30 to 100 in fifth no problem.

Reliability
4 years, 33k, no problems.
Image
Not many around, people stare and aren't sure what it is which is promising, but I don't think it is known enough to have a particular image. People seem to love or like it. From certain angles it looks great.
Comfort
Nice cabin, better than most cars. Leather seats good, great in the front and massive boot. If you worry about the back you bought the wrong car.

Security and Service
Security
About par I'd think. Good remote opening separate for driver and passenger.
Service
Main dealer in Lytham, good service, good price.
