General Comments

We had ours for 5 years from just over a year old. It's a very comfortable drive - haveing been all over europe, getting out of the seats, you would not realise you had been driving for 6 hours.

After about 3 years old, it has suffered numerious faults, mostly electrical, not helped by the dealerships approach to fixing electrical faults - one one occation it started overheating - replaced thermostat, still overheating - replaced second thermostat, still overheating - found broken wire leading to first thermostat - total 4 trips to garage and nearly £500....

Other faults have been;

Rear electric window stuck open.
Transmission fault light came on (faulty sensor).
Stearing rack replaced after started making horrendus noise turning corners.
Central locking failed twice (unlocks a few seconds after locking).
Fan belt split lengthways.
