 ... be good and it doesn't disappoint. The trim feels solid and secure and there are no rattles or shakes in any driving conditions. My commute takes in back roads, motorways and stop-start traffic and the car is pleasant to be in at all times. It is very quiet at motorway speeds and never feels like it is working hard.
