Good Points
Styling; Road holding; Visability; Comfort; Long service intervals - 18000 miles; Luggage space; Electric folding mirrors; Reversing sensors; Climate control.
Bad Points
Reliability. The card rather than a key is annoying because you can't attach it to a key ring. Wiper rain sensors are unpredictable and after stopping & restarting the engine they have to be switched off and back on to operate again.
