Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Pre-registered deal, 150 miles on the clock, but with £6000 off list.
Costs
Too early for service costs. Hardly ever see a petrol pump as it'll easily do 500 miles around town on a tank.

On the road
Driving
Handles very well. The 17" Aero wheels probably help - very little bodyroll, it just doesn't feel like an estate.
Performance
Quick enough to 60 (9.5-ish), but the acceleration in the 45-70 range is superb due to huge torque.

Living with it
Reliability
Can't really say yet, but feels every bit as solid as the Merc I owned before-hand.
Image
I think it's the best looking estate anyway, but the 17" Aero alloys really make it stand out.
Comfort
Big comfy leather seats and loads of room for 3 adults in the rear. Lots of standard features like auto A/C with dual zones make it very comfortable indeed.

Security and Service
Security
Full alarm/immobiliser system, remote locking, deadlocks and the Saab (love it or hate it) gear lock should mean it's as secure as it can be.
