Summary
What does this car say about you?
The car is very underated because it looks just like a diesel version. It is very subtle just like me.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They are very surprised what the car can do because from looking on the outside you would not think this can do 150mph.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes I would buy this car again because it does everything I want it to do and puts a smile on my face.
What are you likely to buy next?
I am likely to try Peugeots new 407 V6.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
I reckon it has to be the nicest car I have ever driven. It is comfortable on long journeys, has a good stereo and the engine effortlessly eats the miles.
What's it like to park?
That can be a problem in tight spaces because it does not have a good turning circle and the car feels big.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
A few things have gone wrong with the car like coil packs which seem to go wrong in the colder seasons and the airbag light on the dash keeps coming on when it wants to but other than that it has been reliable.
What's most practical about your car?
It is very fast in a straight line, the boot is more than big enough for my requirements and i reckon the car looks fantastic.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
My favourite gadget has to be the big 3.0 litre engine which regularly surprises boy racers and even Porsches.
