    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very comfortable - driven several times between Chesterfield & Munich.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Adequate for me. Pulls happily up hills even when loaded. More important than speed away from standstill.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Excellent given the way I have treated it (ignored for 30 days then expected to drive 1000 miles in a weekend).

    I still think that it's one of the best looking cars on the road - even in estate form.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Easy to get a good driving position - & quiet at high speed.
