Economy
Value
For what you pay, you get a lot - 6 CD player, C/C, S/rf etc...
Costs
Little high, but hardly anything goes wrong. After 140,000 miles, the engine is still like brand new.

On the road
Driving
Little bit hard but it does add to the sportiness.
Performance
Very quick. If you like using a gearbox to drive a car, this is the one to buy.

Living with it
Reliability
EXCELLENT! No problems in 140,000 miles bar new tyres. Still drives and sounds like it came out of the factory yesterday.
Image
If you're not a BMW or Merc snob, it's spot on, youthful, and imposing. I get people looking at it all the time and even asking to drive it when out shopping!
Comfort
Very comfy. Half-leather seats are lovely, especially in winter time as they are heated.

Security and Service
Security
EXCELLENT! Don't even try to steal one - you would be wasting your time.
