Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Depreciates like a lead weight. But as I have no intention of changing it for some years that doesn't bother me one bit.
Costs
Serving is average for a car of this size. Fuel consumption is crap but I didn't buy it to save petrol!

Driving
It puts a smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel. The ride and handling what shame many BMW's I've owned. In a word, this car delivers more thrills per mile than anything i've owned before.
Performance
Top speed of 150mph (where permitted) and a 0-60 time of under 8 seconds makes this a very quick and comfortable saloon. What's more there's so much torque available from as low as 2,000 rpm that cog swopping is largely unnecessaryunder normal conditions.

Living with it
Reliability
Mechanically the car has been completely trouble-free. The only problems have been minor electrical faults.
Image
Well it's not a BMW, but who cares? I rather like the feeling of driving a wolf in sheep's clothing which other drivers automatically take to be a gutless diesel..
Comfort
Great, electrically adjustable seats (with memory) and bags of legroom front and rear mean that even 5 people can travel for long distances.
