• Summary

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What does this car say about you?

    It says you have some air of difference. It's rare you pass another one on the roads, and that's not because its a bad car. Has a far more sleek look than even the newer 5-series BMW, and makes most other comparable cars look quite boring.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Yes, because in 18months of ownership it's never been less than perfect. I took it to former Russia last New Year and even in -15 c it started first time, and did that trip there and back, nearly 4000miles in perfect comfort and without a hiccup.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Have already bought an LS430

  • Driving it

    3 out of 5 3.0

    What's it like to drive?

    A bit lifeless, doesn't really involve you, but it does everything as it should, handles very well, sticks to the road well, sets off and stops very quickly. It does put a bit of a smile on your face on the right roads.

    What's it like to park?

    Not fair for me to judge I can get a Bus into a space barely big enough for a metro!!!
