    Adequate in real world conditions.

    Pay homage to the designer.

    Check your fillings before driving on uneven roads, otherwise very comfortable.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    I've got a Honda alarm on mine, but always fit an Autolock 2000 as I suspect it's not up to much.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Cannot fault main dealer service, but it's not cheap.
