I have driven it for over a year since the engine recondition and it drives well under normal/moderate motorway driving, but it stutters slightly under heavy acceleration following engine recondition.
Interior in excellent condition, and exterior in good condition but with a few micro-dents and a small scrape on passenger side rear wheel arch.
High spec boasting lane assist, collision assist, cruise control and sports mode. Other features include SATNAV and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.
