    What does this car say about you?

    I'm not following the masses by buying a BMW or Merc. It shows you have class.

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

    Family and friends love it, the neighbours are more jealous than usual. My father has always criticised every one of the 43 cars I've ever bought prior to this...he's been quiet since I've bought this!

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Yes of course :)

    What are you likely to buy next?

    May wait until BMW or Mercedes release their Hybrid performance cars.

  • Driving it

    What's it like to drive?

    Thrilling! Very composed to drive and stable given its weight. Very good brakes and the driver aids are the best I've come across.

    Easy, guidance is shown on screen as well as through audio aids.
