Overall reliability

Always a car to make a journey enjoyable.

I have been surprised how comfortable the car is for longer journeys. I put cold weather tyres on it in the winter (Buxton is always about 4 degC colder than most of England), and it is a very reassuring car to drive. The Dualogic gearbox seems to work well, and takes it one emissions class lower than the manual gearbox version (B instead of C).

The only drawbacks are that the suspension can be bouncy and (mainly as a result) the car can tend to hop sideways on bumpy bends in the road.
