Value
All the gadgets and luxury you"d expect.
Costs
Good value for money - provided it's a good one!

On the road
Driving
Powerful, smooth, quiet and easy to drive - even with that long bonnet!
Performance
3-4 out of 5. Powerful car, but performance can"t justify its 5.3 V12 motor.

Living with it
Reliability
3-4 again. Oil leaks can be expensive. Electric windows can struggle. PAS can whine on full lock. Air con needs constant attention!
Image
Timeless if kept standard and in tip top condition. Tacky if messed around with.
Comfort
Good. Not much room in the back, but it is a 2+2 after all.
