Overall reliability
Lots of toys but not as economical as it should be.
The good:
Comfortable, great stereo, bags of space, good road holding, super toys (keyless entry, voice activation, DAB radio).
The bad:
Fuel consumption not even close to manufacturer's guidelines (a long motorway run returns 35mpg), not easy to park even with a camera, engine struggles with 4 adults and luggage.
My first diesel. Part exchanged an XKR due to running costs so I wanted a top spec replacement. The Portfolio is well loaded. Only the digital TV is a waste. Took a few weeks to appreciate the top of the range stereo. it's really worth the money but mp3s need to ripped at high bps.
One niggle: the climate control blows hot then cold over and over. It needs to be more sensitive.
