Excellent family car.

I bought this car because it looks good, it drives very well and it is easy to get in and out of. (I’m over 70 now!) Not long after buying it, I had a warning light coming on and the engine went into limp home mode. I took it to a dealer, who diagnosed a faulty sensor - which was replaced under warranty. That was the only fault in 4 years. Acceleration is very surprising once you hit 2,000 rpm, the turbo cuts in. When driven sensibly, I can and have achieved over 65 mpg. I would recommend it to most people, only niggle is the piano black trim can get scratched and the emergency braking can activate too soon when the car in front is turning left. Will definitely keep it as long as possible.
