On the road
Driving
Very refined motorway cruiser, ride is a little harsh on country lanes though. Geartronic is a bit lumpy in the shifts, but in auto mode it's silky smooth.
Performance
More brisk than fast. Adequate for safe ""A road"" overtaking though.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Faultless so far.
Image
Bit of an ""old mans"" car for a 30yr old but I bought it for safety over looks.
Comfort
As good as S-Type jag, better than 5 series and only costs half as much second hand. Superb.

Security
No problems so far.
