Welcome to drive the debate

Excellent auto box, excellent combination of power and practicality, easy to live with, a blast to drive.

Minor rattles from dash, some cheapish trim.

Looks phenomenal in Candy White with 18 inch Monzas. Shape is somewhat MPVish, but still good-looking with sporty cues such as honey-comb grille and rear spoiler. Excellent room for five in cabin. Good boot (350l) with easy-to-fold seats. DSG box with paddle shift is unbelievably good! Spec is reasonable, not to Lexus levels but still well above average. Xenons brilliant. RNS510 sat nav is excellent. However the 2litre turbo engine and auto box are reason enough to buy this car. As a package this car is almost unbeatable. As a second hand buy it's irresistible. All that practicality and safety plus that fantastic exhaust note if you floor it and the heritage - what more could one want? If you're thinking about it, do it. You won't regret it.
