Living with it
Image
A most disappointing vehicle. Depreciation is appalling together with costs of problems the result is the most expensive motor I have owned. Despite buying for reliability and robustness I have spent longer on roadsides with this vehicle than any other.

Security and Service
Service
Service was poor and expensive. After a factory recall re brakes, I decided to use non-dealer service (dealer did not even clean car). Parts/service costly and too frequent.
