Precise, sporty and extremely comfortable.

0-60 <7seconds. Not bad for a heavyweight.

Built like a tank. Avoid the early Nikasil engines, unless changed under warranty.

Uncommon. Not a boy racer car. Envious looks from the standard tin box owners.

Superb at the front. Adequate for two in back.

Solid as standard. Can easily be uprated.

Too pricey from dealers.
