This vehicle has great driving and aesthetic features. I would say this car meets my expectations from the brand. The only con I have with it is the boot space as I now have a baby. Trying to get a pram and bags in the boot is tricky at times. Especially if going away on holiday. The car drives wonderfully and is comfortable on long journeys. The quality touches like heated seats and customisable interior and exterior lighting makes this car luxurious. I would have this car again if I didn’t have a child but I would definitely look at this brand as a first port of call when upsizing to a more spacious family car next time.

The engine and gearbox are very good, sounds pretty good but the ride quality and grip is appalling just doesn’t feel like a bmw

It is a lot of car for the monthly rental I pay - it feels solid to drive and has a lot of tech. The interior feels high quality. The mpg isn't brilliant, but could be worse. M Sport suspension is quite firm and I find the road noise, particularly on the motorway, quite obvious. Overall, I would have this car again, however, I would firstly look at alternative options. I get a lot of compliments.
