Economy
Value
Great value second hand. Depreciation works in your favour then.
Costs
Tyres expensive if metric ones fitted. Spares easily obtainable and reasonable in price.

Driving
Beautiful car to drive. A real 'driver's' car.
Performance
Wow. Very good for such a big and heavy car. Avoid the 2.9!

Living with it
Reliability
Great engine and gearbox. Electrics are a potential nightmare, especially electric windows, central locking and digital dash module.
Image
Great image. Hard to beat.
Comfort
Leather, wood and lots of toys. Superb!

Security and Service
Security
So-so. Never had anyone try and steal it. Probably couldn't afford to fill the tank!
Service
Best to use independant specialists - loads out there.
