    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Holds value well, no issues there.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Servicing expensive, however was aware of this before purchasing, the vehicle spends 80% of time on motoway, so servicing only comes around every 18miles. Average running costs on fuel, if not heavy with foot.

    Very relaxed, not a hard car to drive considering how large the Estate is compared to others on the road, makes you feel very safe.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Stunning for such a big car and also a Diesel.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Apart from a few interior parts needing replacing, its been faultless, however for the servicing costs, you would expect this.
