On the road
Driving
Uncomfortavle to drive because the seat is too firm. Good roadholding and sloppy rolly polly handling.
Performance
Very quick at all speeds. Really surprising. Only a fool would buy the 2-litre petrols.

Living with it
Reliability
Top rate for me. Not a thing wrong in 15,000 miles. 5 of our year-old fleet have had turbo failure though.
Image
Very smart looking fleet car with fat alloys and metallic.
Comfort
I would never choose one for this reason alone. Driver's seat too firm and base too upright. Half our reps complaining. I hate driving it because of this.
