Driving
The best. Feel like King of the road when driving it.
Performance
Staggering. A bit slow from standing start, but then it will take on anything.

Living with it
Reliability
Disgusting for such a great car.

Security
Don't know really. Not tested, but infra red remote was a problem.

Expensive and any major job they sub contracted as didn't have the expertise to carry it out.
