2013 onwards, SD Auto is best and then the higher trim spec the more gadgets you get. HSE/HSE Lux/Metropolis are the top models.
Earlier models(Pre-2013) were prone to rear axle noise issues, but most should be fixed now.(See Bell Engineering)
Door lock actuators are a common failure but parts are available to fix. Check all doors lock/unlock with the remote key.
High level brake light seal sometimes fails and leaks water.
Those are the most common faults, but otherwise nothing major normally goes wrong if its serviced on time.

Great cars.
We ran a Metropolis from new, selling it last month with 70,000 miles and never had an issue (as per the previous two FLs we owned).
It did everything asked of it.
The icing on the cake was the residual value, selling for a couple of grand over book price.
They can throw up big bills in later life I’m told, and there is a 10 year service which will be four figures.
Highly recommended.
