    Very smooth and comfortable. Surprisingly agile for such a big 2.0 litre.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    It's only a 2 litre - wish I'd gone for the 240.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Loads of room. No lumbar support which is a pain in the back!

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    No problems with alarm and immobiliser.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Take your money and forget you. They totally failed me and repeatedly did not return calls. Don't buy from a main dealer.
