On the road
Driving
Good for such a big car. A bit vague on corners sometimes.
Performance
Good for a car of its size. 2.4T may be a better bet if you want to get of the mark quickly. Noticeable engine noise under hard acceleration but not too intrusive.

Living with it
Reliability
Slight problem with quirky central locking on front passenger door. Door sometimes wouldn't lock first time. A drop of quality oil down the stem seems to have solved this. No other problems.
Image
It just oozes quality but in a subtle way.
Comfort
Armchair comfort and very quiet when up to speed.

Security and Service
Security
It was still on the drive last time I looked.
Service
Not needed to have it serviced yet. I suspect that the quality of servicing will be good but at quite a high price.

Slight glitch with sticky central locking on one of the doors. Now sorted at no cost as it just needed a drop of oil.
