  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    drives like new even as a 53 plate, very quiet well refined ride, handles and stops well too. Need to hit about 4000rpm to get the power out of it. Best car ive ever driven.

    not the easiest, rear visibility sucks and not being able to see the bonnet on such a long car doesnt help much either.

    quite a fan of the cruise control, leather seats very comfy
