Overall reliability

Very well built with good handling for a large car.

I've had the car for over a year now and have been very impressed with the build quality and overall package. The standard equipment is good but I did find somethings that are options should be standard. I've had 5 blokes over 16 stone in the car and they all had plenty of room.
Being a big bloke myself this is the only car where an adult can sit behind me. I have heard rumours with this car with rattles but I have not had any. I do think wheel and tyre size is very important. I would recommend the 16" wheels and fat tyres as I've driven one with 17" wheels and skinny tires and found the ride quite harsh.
Couple of niggles.
1. There is no way you are going to get 65Mpg. More like 47 winter / 52 Summer. To be fair the salesman did say this.
2. The MP3 system is very fiddly and took a while to get used to.
