On the road
Driving
240bhp, its very smooth and the power's there. Auto box is one of the best. Handling good, but it's a heavy car.
Performance
Excellent. It revs to 7000rpm. Can outpace most cars that are faster on paper, because it has a smooth auto.

Living with it
Reliability
100,000miles and still hasn't failed.
Image
Turns heads. Get big alloys to shake off the older man's car image.
Comfort
Very good, comfortable seats. Electrics seats and steering wheel. Interior isn't up to German standards. It's less Jaguar and more American.

Security and Service
Security
Has a good alam/immobiliser. Hard to steal.
Service
Very good, friendly and helpful. Pick the car up and drop it off.
