Notes:
This is most definitely not the most exciting car in the world. Anyone who knows me would ask - but why trade in an Audi TT for this? Well, the reason is complicated. I moved a little more than a year ago to Canada. A relocation like this is extremely expensive. I had to sell my Jaguar and TT, and this side one cannot get a lease without being credit worthy. Since I am new in the country I basically had to put down a 1/3 deposit. This limits your options. But I digress...
So how does this car compare? Well, it seems to be reliable. I have not driven around the country that much - after 13 months I barely have 8500km on the clock. The longest distance I travelled was from Winnipeg to Vancouver. However, I never had the feeling the car is going to break down or had any real concerns regarding handling issues. It is not even remotely comparable to my TT, however it is a solid, reserved car.
