Superb steering, excellent brakes and very smooth ride on all types of roads. Not sporty (soft in curves).
Performance
Rather slow. Dangerous to overtake...

Living with it
Reliability
Good when looked after. Lots of troubles when service neglected.
Image
Some adore it, some hate it. Something between. Sharp edges are becoming in fashion again...
Comfort
Most comfortable car I have ever driven. 'Living room' seats and spacious in the back.

Security and Service
Security
Large car to protect you. No airbags. After market security accessories necessary. Locks easy to brake into.
