Overall reliability

Great to look at, fine acceleration, guesswork to park

In ice white with optional Atreus alloys, car looks excellent. Boot is a decent size, acceleration - especially mid-range - is fine. Leather trim and interior has proven durable and easy to use for family life. Reliability has been faultless

On the downside: servicing costs high, MPG way below advertised, alloys very easily kerbed, and complete guesswork as to where the front and rear of the car is. Consequently a nightmare to park. Depreciation has also been heavy as the model was discontinued.

Makes an excellent used buy (with parking sensors)
