Driving
This car is good when it works! I have had problems with the engine cutting out whilst idling, irregular revs when idling and irregular revs when accelerating.
Performance
Doesn't pack enough punch at low revs - peak torque is at 4400rpm and the car may benefit from a lower max torque band.

Living with it
Reliability
Terrible. The car keeps cutting out and the revs keep on dipping! The car has been into the garage 10 times in 12 months and the fault still remains!
Comfort
Good internal spec.
