Comfortable Well Appointed And Doesn't Cost The Earth For A Good Spec

Had the car just over 1 month its now done 1500 miles. I'm very pleased with it to date, drives very well long distances not an issue as the car is spacious and the driving seating position is excellent. When you exit from the car feeling refreshed rather than cramped and aching all over you appreciate the car for what it is.
Lots of equipment in the mid range car. I opted for the 1.7 CRDI Blue Drive SE Nav. Its well equipped at reasonable cost. The heated seats are great this time of year, drivers seat has electric lumber support which is a nice touch. The 1.7 diesel engine is reasonably refined not too powerful only 114bhp but with a significant amount of torque over 200lbsft and if driven in the 1250 to 2500rpm range it performs admirably well. But don't expect a supercar because its not. Currently doing 49mpg which I am a little disappointed about as the book figure is 61. Nothing close to that will be achievable, I do know how to maximise mpg on diesel cars I have driven them now for almost 30 years. So it may improve slightly as the car loosens up, it may also improve as the weather improves due to fewer ancillaries being used. i.e. heated seats, wipers, lights, heater and demisters etc... I am hoping I can get it into low to mid 50's. However others might not fair as well because my driving is mostly distance, so the car does have an opportunity to get thoroughly warmed up.

Stop start is also included which should help the mpg. When you remove your foot from the clutch pedal as the car comes to a halt the engine stops, It only restarts when you depress the clutch again to move off.

The car had an anoying rattle at the back for quite a while until I found it. The removable boot floor covering the spare wheel (full size aluminium wheel) is a loose fit on its runners and it moves about over rough ground. Solution was to glue two thin carpet strips along each runner. This has now tightened up the floor panel and no more rattle. Apparently the dealers have had several complaints about this and it rather looks as if they have not yet found a solution...

Reverse camera is a nice touch and given the poor rearward vision on most SUV's I think its essential. Low tyre pressure warning also very good but the spare it not so equipped so if you change it this tyre won't be covered by the warning system.

Lane departure warning and also lane correction, which some seem to feel is a bit disconcerting as the car tugs at the steering if you wander out of your lane, however it does what its supposed to do and it can be turned off if you don't like it.

Brakes are very efficient, I can vouch for that as I had an i**** taxi driver pull out in fron of me the other day and had to hit the pedal very hard to avoid a collision.

The lights are tremendous and the cornering lamps in particular, they light up the whole verge as you turn. The front LED running lights look good, but the LED front side lights are teriffic and really show the car off.

Its overall appearance appealed to me and that was my primary reason for buying the car but having driven it now for several weeks I can honestly say I'm still quite impressed.

5 year warranty or 100,000 miles gives you some piece of mind, 20,000 miles service interval means the car should be very cost effective in terms of maintenance and five years roadside assistance...

Overall very pleased with my purchase, I can recommend this car.
