We were interested, but when we went to look at it (prior to booking a test drive), the seats were a dealbreaker. The model we sat in had around 6000 miles on the clock, and it felt like sitting in an old, rancid foam-couch. No support, and i had the impression that any moment now a broken spring is gonna poke me in the butt. Got out of the car and cancelled the test drive there and then.
Now, the faults etc, that can happen in any car, to be entirely fair. Generally in terms of reliability, they appear quite good.
If you want to look at something really comfortable, go and test drive a C5 Aircross. I don’t think there’s anything on the scheme that comes even remotely close to the comfort of that wafting cloud.
Obviously, it’s not particularly sporty. And by that, i mean it’s as sporty as me. And by that, i mean the last time i did “sport” was 25 years ago. So no chucking it into corners, turning the roundabout into a micro nurburgring – but in terms of comfort, it’s genuinely impressive. Flat out beats any BMW or Mercedes available (or not anymore, nowadays) on the scheme by miles.
