Living with it
Reliability
Been back to the dealership half a dozen times in the first year
Image
Well, it's no Ferrari but it stands out more than a vRs and is more subtle than an ST
Comfort
I find the armrest built into the door too high. No centre armrest option. Seats ok for 2hrs, longer not great. Cramped in back if tall driver. When lights on full beam, warning light on dash blindingly bright. No boot light!
