On the road
Driving
Very Quiet, good cruiser, handles better than you would think for such a large car.
Performance
Mine's a taxi, doesn't need to be quick. Good economy.

Living with it
Reliability
Excellent up to 187,500 miles, when a con-rod came through side of block. Up to this point, never broke down just routine servicing. Front disks last about 70K, pads about 35K, clutch cable 60k VERY STIFF.
Image
As a taxi excellent.
Comfort
Centre and rear seat pitches need to be altered to allow better centre legroom with seven up. Reclining seats popular and very comfortable. Driving position not quite right.
