What do you love most about your car?

Bought second hand from a dealer with 12 month warranty and only 21k miles on it for only £12k when new more like over £35k. Great value for money, nice and quiet to drive and super cheap to run when charging from home on a EV tariff over night

If you could change one thing about your car, what would it be?

No where really to rest your left foot when driving, a bit annoying on long distances

What would you say would be your overall verdict on this car?

Great value, stylish, reliable and cheap to run

Steve's Verdict

Striking to look at with a plush interior, but average to drive. Comfort impressed, yet refinement and space fell short of premium expectations.

AI generated owner profile based on psychographic inference

Favoured by style-conscious urbanites who appreciate boutique luxury, hushed refinement, and a distinctive alternative to mainstream crossovers. Design-led, brand-curious, values tactility and serenity, seeks individuality without showiness, enjoys thoughtful tech when it serves comfort. City-based professionals, café culture, weekend escapes; premium streaming, boutique gyms, and art-led retail resonate more than off-road adventures. Praises design flourishes, calm ride, parking ease; forgives ultimate pace; notices material touchpoints, noise isolation, and the brand’s boutique-service feel.

Did you know?

Parisian haute couture influences—diamond motifs, ‘pearl’ stitching and jewelled toggles—turn the cabin into a tactile mood‑booster, lending weekday drives a boutique sense of occasion.

The brand curates interior ‘Inspirations’ like fashion collections, letting buyers pick an aesthetic narrative rather than a basic trim—useful for expressing taste without attracting unnecessary attention.

Flush, pop‑out door handles stay hidden until needed, streamlining airflow and cutting wind rustle so motorway calls and playlists sound calmer and clearer.
