Can't buy a better machine as the 2nd prices have now dropped.

Expensive exhaust/insurance/service, but worth every penny.

On the road
Driving
Smooth, sharp, solid and powerful, like on rails.

Fast and surefooted. Watch out for the power kick at 5000rpm.

Living with it
Reliability
Very good ideed, considering the complexity of the engine.
Image
Definitely the more mature, strong, silent type. Not for the RS Turbo boys.
Comfort
Front seats are spot on. The back is really for kids only.

Security and Service
Security
Standard immobiliser only. Best to fit a decent after-market alarm.
