Reliability
55k miles and no problems, I've known the car since initial purchase.

Stills shows there are alternatives to the Germans, for those who have indepenence.
Comfort
Still the best standard seats of any manufacturer, coupled with leather, electrics and acres of space add up to a perfect place to view the road.
