    Fuel economy needs getting used to, after running a smaller car.

    Driving

    Good. Surprisingly good acceleration and cruises well.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good acceleration and roadholding for an Estate (imagine if they built a hot hatch with V70 fingerprint).

    Reliability

    Hmm! Got some niggles. Auto jerky, it's really spoiling what should be a very good car to drive.

    I'm the talk of the office, after insisting rear spoiler fitted (it really finishes off the look). Forget roof rails, unless really needed.

    Comfort

    Comfortable and safe. :-) You bet!

    Security

    Standard security is good and keeps most away. Leave wife in any car for ultimate protection against thieves.
