    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Resonable price, but price adding all the extras hurts...

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Leather upholstery should be standard and so should a sunroof.

    Definitley looks the part. Had to add rear top spoiler and winter pack to complete the look.

    Can't fault comfort.

    Still got the car, so no one's nicked it yet... so good I guess.
