    Thirsty on fuel and you will get to know your parts supplier on a first name basis.

    Position is bad if you're over 6', as the driver's seat doesn't height adjust.

    Drinks fuel at an alarming rate. Auto box kick down is erratic.

    Shocking car. In 6 months I had to replace the head gaskets, gearbox, inlet manifold and a load of other faults. All in a car with less then 50k on the clock.
