Great ! It gives you power when you need it, light and responsive steering and has firm suspension with lots of grip. The styling makes people turn their heads.

No problem at all.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
It puts a smile on your face when you see it in the morning, when you get in it and during your journey. As with any older car, things have gone wrong, e.g. back-box exhaust bracket corroded, stereo controls on steering wheel don't work, seal around rear windscreen has gone.
What's most practical about your car?
It eats up the miles in comfort. The boot is a good size for a saloon, especially with the rear seats folded down.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The 6 CD multi-changer is great !
