Security and Service
Security
Deadlocks are a good feature but all cars need alarm/immobiliser.
Service
My car had a notchy gearbox so I took it back twice. When I took it back for the third time they said the box had major problems. I did not have a car for 10 days in all -during this time they could not provide me with a loan car.
