Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Best buy, the car is GTX Turbo, quality, style, handling, comfort, looks, everything, i know i know, an older car, but it beets most others + full electronics. i even traveld to Bosnia and back with it after servicing it my self, in total i have done just under 8000 miles in 5 weeks, including there and back.

Dicent enough.

What's it like to drive?

Excelent: handeleing, at 120mph easy to stear, even with a single finger, releasing the steering wheel, the car drives straight, no shaking in the car nor steering wheele. Cornering realy nice, 30mph in roundebauts, nice and steady, i cant say much more than superb. I have driven never cars and sure they have some advantages, but some of them aint even in comparison with the 405.
