Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Bought it as it doesn't match the normal boring cars that I've previously owned. With the 2 litre engine it is a relaxing car on a long drive, without a penalty at the pumps. Average mpg is about 50, used purely for short trips this drops to 45mpg, will manage the high 50s on a longer run and will even nudge 65+ if you are a little bit careful. I have managed to see 99+ on a short, mainly downhill journey but that's cheating. It is best to consider it a 2+2 if you're a tall driver, although there is a surprising amount of room in the slightly claustrophobic rear, and the boot isn't the largest. It does suit what I bought it for, a car for myself and my wife with occasional room for 2 in the back. It is surprisingly quick, handles well and does bring back a touch of boy race to this OAP.

How reliable do you find the car?

Suffered a flat 12V battery due to little use due to Covid, AA came and jumped it. Now have a booster pack just in case

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

The 2 litre engine helps overcome the CVT weakness of revs rising when you put your foot down.
