comfort , space , seats , access , ride , driving , noise -- all good
aircon , media ok
visibilty good high view , usual pillar blind spots, some reflections.
engine adequate power INCLUDING towing 850kgs caravan
boot had to remove flatboard and rear sill cover to fit suitcases .
economy acceptable , but nowhere near claimed figures even with gentle ECO mode driving.
reliability much too soon to know - new technology on engine and gearbox , no troubles so far .
the key issue for me is the behaviour of the cvt/xtronic/ECU.
there is the usual event at around 15/20 mph as there was on the primera , but another at around 35/40mph.
this event manifests itself variously as little lurches/drags/binds/surges , particularly before warmed up .
it is generally more fussed and jumpy than i found the primera cvt , which was immense.
i switch off start/stop , and dont use any digital connect stuff.
generally we like this car , it is doing the job and is nice to drive and ride in .
