Update:
-Reliability (including maintenance costs/parts availability/component life/warranty etc.)
-> Got the software update for the recall last year with the local dealer and was seamless, good service
-> I am now up for the first service (84000 km interval) and I couldn't even get booked in with the local dealer, rang, left messages, booked on the website, nothing, ended up booking with another mechanic I have used to keep up the log book stamping, will see how the car is travelling for its first post sale service, bit concerning how non-responsive the dealer is though, apparently mechanic reckons its very difficult to get parts off them as well.....
-Ability to haul gear (towing performance/cargo space use)
-> Been using it to haul supplies for renos, timber, posts, shorter weatherboards, been an absolute beast at hauling
-> In saying that I will invest in some roof racks for the bigger stuff as hitching a trailer is a bit of a hassle considering how small qtys I have been getting for doing odd jobs - Anyone got recommendation's or wanting to get rid of a pair?
-Vehicle enjoyment (overall use of vehicle features/performance/comfort)
-> Fuel consumption has been awesome, I have been smashing the car and it has stayed around 9.9L/100km for the 8000km I have just put on it since buying it
-> I am constantly disabling the auto stop feature, I tried to get used to it however it is jarring when it turns the engine back on when you are stationary after a few seconds, sometimes it will keep the engine off, other times it will just turn it back on, seemingly random
