In their own words

I have had absolutely no issues with the car aside from not being maintained properly by previous owner (EGR valve clogged by not being driven properly and causing a DPF fault). Brilliant to drive, steering lacks some feel but accelerates well and feels planted. Boot may be inconvenient for a family but works surprisingly well for moving up and down the country with luggage every week. Not as good on fuel as first hoped but averages between 47-49 a gallon. Looks brilliant and stands out everywhere it goes, something different from the normal especially in a strong colour. Comfortable on the motorway with good seats that are also good when it gets sporty. Overall love the car and would recommend them to anyone

How reliable do you find the car?

Needed a new EGR valve as soon as I bought the car and a DPF clean, not a fault with the car by any means but by previous owner not using the diesel properly
