Driving
A dream on the Motorway. Handling is fairly precise and acceleration above 60 is excellent.
Performance
Lively for such a big car. The 1.8 engine wants to go on and on. Top gear ratio seems a bit higher than most cars as 70mph is achieved at 3000rpm.

Living with it
Reliability
Only been driving this model for a month and a half but, so far, no problems at all.
Image
A really nice looking estate with roof bars and two way opening on the hatch. Lighting is a dream with Xenon dips, halogen highs. Front fogs can be used independently of the rears. Good brake lamps.
Comfort
Superb. Headrests all round. Climate control is dual zone. Electronic dimming mirror is fantastic. Instruments are well laid out and easy to read at all times. Legroom in the back can be a bit restricted if the driver likes to sit back a bit.

Security and Service
Security
Factory-fitted Thacham-approved system with ultrasonics and full perimeter protection. Deadlocks and the card key starting system make this a car I'm confident to park and leave in the city.
Service
Very good, efficient and knowledgable.

A bit rough when cold, but soon smooths out as it warms up.
Other
Fitted my own mud flaps as the lack made the doors get very dirty in wet weather. Should be fitted as standard.
