Living with it
Reliability
Utterly dependable: a leaking door seal is the only niggle.
Image
Sporty, stylish, superb build and much admired.
Comfort
One of the most comfortable I"ve EVER driven.
-
Security and Service
Security
Almost as good as anything else on the road.
Service
Third service due next weekend (29k miles). So far dealers are polite and helpful, although the car is never returned washed/hoovered. Servicing appears to be quite simple, but costs are not known as this is run as a company car.
