Reliability
Very possibly the worst car I've owned in 30 years. New engine at 48,000, new driveshafts and computers at 57,000, new transmission at 60,000. Car now sits in my garden and has become a completely useless garden ornament for the birds to sit on.
Image
Poor image amongst other drivers and other dealers.
Comfort
Great seats and space but everything else rubbish.
