In their own words

THE GOOD STUFF. No faults whatsoever not a squeak rattle or otherwise not even a faulty light bulb, plenty of space and comfortable seats, easy entry to cabin front and back. hard wearing interior, Insurance cost lower than similar sized cars, 40mpg on a motorway run at 62mph.the adaptive cruse control is good and not prone to frost or car park damage due to the cameras being inside the car and not sensors on the bumper, where guess what, bumps damage the sensors, Cheap insurance compared to competitors. X mode is brilliant when the going gets tough stability is good on country. roads however there is a bit of body roll but always feels very stable no matter what the conditions. Good visibility, and a good size of boot luggage area. A great family car, with good specification.
THE BAD STUFF. Ride a bit harsh on uneven surfaces at low speed, wind noise could be better at motorway speeds, Not the fastest car in the world but would give some so called hot hatches a fright at the lights especially in the wet. The audio system is average. The electric windows are quick but are only full auto on the drivers door. The electric tailgate is a bit slow to open and close. A bit of wear on the carpets at the pedals due to exiting the car. All in all a great car good at most things.
