No

March 2006
Did you get a good deal and why?
I managed to get a service and a new set of rear tyres out of the garage and the car was below what Parker's said it was worth so I think I got a good deal.

It's a kool looking coupe that's also practical
What was the dealer like?
The dealer was ok, he didn't spend too much time selling the car to me but then I pretty much already knew what I wanted.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
This car corners well and is effortless to drive on main roads. The heavy V6 engine can make driving a low speeds a little difficult at times.
What's it like to park?
Visibility isn't the best due to the shape of the car but on the whole it's pretty easy.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The clutch needed replacing pretty soon after I bought the car which I wasn't impressed with as the car had only done 50K.
What's most practical about your car?
The huge boot space makes the car very practical and also the fact that I can still stick a bike rack on the back of it.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Heated seats are good in winter and air con is a must in this car as the black leather interior gets intensely hot in summer.
