    Tell us what you think about your car?
    Awesome! For comfort, ride, handling and performance this car is the best I have owned - after a long list of excellent vehicles from Audi, Mercedes and previous BMWs. The reassurance of having complete predictability in its characteristics on the road combines with its excellent range to make driving a real pleasure, whilst being cheaper to run than my wife’s Fiesta!
    What's the one thing you like most about your car?
    Its solid upmarket build quality.
    If you could improve one thing, what would it be?
    Having cable storage in the large plastic-shrouded vault under the bonnet.

    It is a great car. Range in summer is 360 miles. Normal everyday use at least 320. It is beautifully built, drives like a BMW, very quiet and very comfortable. Spacious boot with space beneath for cables. Tight in the back seats. The rear seat belt fixed position is extremely difficult to secure for a child seat. Rear tyre wear seems high.
    What's the one thing you like most about your car?
    Smooth power delivery
    If you could improve one thing, what would it be?
    Rear seat belt: very difficult to clip the belt in to the static part with child seat in position
    Would you recommend the car to a friend?
