Advantages: Solid well built, Power when you need it, Comfort on long distances
Disadvantages: Can you tell the difference between one jelly mould and another?, Do you want a fast house on wheels?, Doesnt have an electric blanket
I have driven several of these as hire cars.. so in the long term I cannot say how they hold up. But as a new car, they are a very nice drive. Cruising for hundreds of miles in these is as effortless as it gets. Climate control, very nice stereo, bells and whistles on the trip computer to pass the time of the miles... turbo charged acceleration at the higher speeds when you need to pass something quickly, comfortable seats, well finished interior, BIG boot, (for my briefcase!??),.. power everything.. CD changer. It has a business feel to it. And, diesel, .. its cheap.
I am not sure if the model above is it, but the ones I have driven have had six gears. So for that emphasis when your overtaking.. at something above 70...its a nice pleasure to cruise pass someone at those speeds...... and change up,.. another gear.
Small pleasure for boys really.... but I cant deny its a pleasure! :)))
Nice car.
