I'd like something smaller next time such as a mini cooper.

Too many persistent warnings that cannot be switched off. Everything from “distracted driver” ( for no obvious reason) to speed alerts and automatic braking that’s positively dangerous

Lovely car. Only slight issue is the stiff suspension making the drive a bit hard. Rest absolutely perfect.

This car is a dream on long journeys as very comfortable and not tiring to drive. However, the acceleration is not great and some of the electronics are annoying. I have issues with the 'speed limit' indicator getting mixed up and giving incorrect readings. The insurance is high but fuel economy is good. It has lots of space for bags etc. I have not found the in car entertainment that great - perhaps I am not using it correctly. I am glad I leased it but will not re-new.

The times I’m driving the most pleasing aspect is the power when needed also I find the fuel consumption is very good. My wife uses it more for her work as she doesn’t like reversing at the best of times she finds having the camera a godsend in her words 😁 along with a very comfortable drive.

Like: interior comfort, equipment levels, build quality, looks Dislikes: performance, oversensitive driver aids, automatic handbrake that doesn’t stay on when engine turned off and restarted
