Disappointing
Just drove this brand new SUV on hire for 130 miles, but steering far too light - no feel for the road, fierce brakes, noisy tyres and surprisingly underpowered on hills requiring frequent gear changes - 1st and 3rd too close together. Not nearly as comfortable as my 23 year old and remapped Rover 75 nor as satisfying to drive. SatNav and other controls far too complex. Spent 3 hours to fail to find and increase volume control for Sat Nav other than a whisper. SatNav slow to react not as good as my £30 TomTom. White line pull over annoying. Best novel feature is the heads up display. High boot sill, difficult to get your dogs in.
I would not buy it.
Few garages are able to repair it.
