On the road
Driving
Ponderous unless driven hard. Auto most reluctant to change down on inclines without a kickdown. Too easy to shift through D to neutral when manually changing down and then reverting to auto. Corners securely. Auto sports mode just seems to lock out 5th.
Performance
Let down by the auto-box. If the engine is pushed then it can be brisk but this makes driving it fussy. On cross country journeys it can be brisk if you keep the pace through the bends so you don't suffer the auto box reluctance to shift.

Living with it
Image
Middle aged.
Comfort
Feels heavy. Absorbs bumps on the road with grace. Plush interior. Quiet when cruising with low wind noise and road noise. Engine only intrusive when revved. Rear space limited in part by the upholstery. Passengers liked it.
