-
Economy
Value
I payed £1000 for a 3 owner car 2 of them being enthusiast owners
Costs
Had it a year and a bit and had to replace a rear caliper and front discs and pads along with a couple of tyres so nothing major

On the road
Driving
Big car with small car handling loves b roads, but better for long a-road assaults
Performance
Pulls really well after 4000rpm and screams all the way to the redline can be a big sluggish between 3-4 revs before it comes on cam, but town driving not a problem

Living with it
Reliability
Only failed once but that was my own fault i ran the stereo without the engine running so i had to get a jump start other then that not a problem
Image
Taxi anyone? But who cares i know what it has under the bonnet and it has embarresed much newer cars on many occasions
Comfort
Excellent seats very supportive. I did a 5 hour drive to Silverstone and wasn't uncomfortable at all

Security and Service
Security
