  • On the road

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    The 2-litre non-turbo-charged engine does leave a bit to be desired mid-range.

  • Living with it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    One window leak, but no other problems.

    Image

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Great looks.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Stacks of room for everybody. It is only designated as a 4-person car, so the transmission tunnel is not a problem.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Alarm tilt sensor causes false alarms if left on a slope to the side.

    Service

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Arrived without the leather upholstery, which then took some time to fix, including 2 days to fit. The standards of customer service are also not as good as you might expect from a premium dealer network.
