  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Buy used and you get a lot of value and spec for your money.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Depreciation being the biggest 'cost', buying used offsets a lot of this.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Great motorway cruiser. Not meant to be thrown around corners on a B road.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Mine is an auto. More than adequate performance, but the 2.3 is more suited for the auto box.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Have had to replace timing chain at 45K, the information display and DI cassette in addition to usual service items. Having said that, paid not very much money for a 3 year old car. Have had it for 2 years now & it feels like it will last forever.
