Overall reliability

Soft power, hard wearing. Winning ways.

Test drove it as an afterthought, having short listed A5 or 3 series. It's car won me over becauseod it's character, price difference against rivals and the beauty of engineering and build quality. A steal at the price. ECT power and sports mode up it performance whereas drive mode glides in comfort. This driver likes the choice. The leather, comfort and refinement make long hauls a joy while the stereo brings Wagner and Nikki Minaj to life With equal force. You find yourself quietly becoming at one with it. I love its discretion and finesse. The noisy tyres, cheap clock and airbag warning irritate. Fuel economy could be better. Steering feels a little nautical on uneven rural B roads. Overall driving experience is highly comfortable with high specification to make you fell cosseted. Just a little extra consumer research takes you to Lexus whose dealers take you further. To win you over with soft power. The open road is a pleasure once more ins car that is reminiscent of the late SAAB but with quirkiness that includes total reliability .
