Image
I have a flame red version wirh hatch spoiler and body kit so it talks the talk.
Comfort
Fair! Dull interior fabrics/upholstery and trim let down a potentially good interior. Split rear backrest is commendable, but let down badly with a one piece rear bench seat - major interior design fault.
-
Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser, deadlocks, security nuts on alloy wheels. An alarm should be installed as standard.
Service
Dealer serviced & mot tested from brand new. Fair pricing and readily available genuine vx spares inspire confidence in servicing capability. Mot test was free of charge at service date.
