Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy
Value
Unfortunately, the value drops like a stone, which is ok if you want a car of this engine size in its later years as you can pick up a bargain cheaply.
Costs
Can be very costly on fuel travelling up and down a motorway during a week I could only get 350 miles out of a full tank, however on gentle driving I managed 435 miles on one tank full. Servicing is ok for this size engine except when things go wrong.

Driving
Very comfortable drive, great on motorways and easy to drive around town. Some people complain about the driving position, but with careful adjustment of the seat I found that I had no problems.
Performance
Very quick car except for poor first gear, which is too short. Easily out-paces the boy racers not paying attention to the V6 badge.
