Summary
What does this car say about you?
Im skint!!!! and I may rob a bank (black car black windows, beard guy) I dont care, I love the car looks and I can prob leave u behind as soon as I put my feet down.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They werent sure, but most of them had problems with their more expensive cars on the 5 years I had mine...
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, for that kind of money there is not better car on the second hand market. PERIOD. I will buy a Sri or GTe version (150 hp, sport specs) as a joy ride, for everyday use I rather drive something more economic and safer (no airbags in this version).
What are you likely to buy next?
Japanese. Petrol engine. Im not into buying new cars, and a second hand diesel is either expensive or a money pit.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Before I bought it I came here to Parker's and most users were very happy on the way it drives, and is really great, you can drive miss daisy or go nuts, we tried to make it under steer on a roundabout one night, quite difficult. Is not sports car but one the right hands can trash most cars around.
What's it like to park?
Once you get used to the long ass boot, is all good!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Not a single thing !! only had to spend money on consumables in 4 years of heavy use and more than 50.000 miles...all windows/electricals work, air condition still cold, it does start in Marrakesh and in Sierra Nevada (-15 degress that night, most other cars on the parking were assisted by us).
What's most practical about your car?
Great equipment for its age, some cars dont have as many things: Electrical windows (all doors), electrical mirror views,.etc and massive booth.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
ENGINE , we took it to Germany and cruised at 100 mph all day, in comfort and stability.
