On the road
Driving
Does what you want no worries. Fast and comfortable.
Performance
2.8i V6, quicker than the 2.9 12V. Even with the auto box it will see 60 mph in around 9 secs or less. Not bad for a 1.5 tonne 20 yr old motor!

Living with it
Reliability
Starts first time everytime. Never let me down. Temp gauge stays exactly where it's supposed to stay in the hottest of weather.
Image
It's a Granada, but mine is presented in beautiful Regency Red metallic with colour coded bumpers, RS side skirts, RS rear spoiler and RS 7 spoke alloys. It's a stunner!
Comfort
Like sitting in an armchair, say no more.

Security and Service
Security
No alarm or immobiliser, but lets be honest, a Granada is not on a joy riders dream list. Is it!?
