Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Bought pre-BMW sell off saw the car depreciate quicker than pushing it off a cliff!
Costs
Eats tyres at an alarming rate averaging only 17,000 miles per set of Michelin Pilots. Fuel averages 24 mpg without the air-con motorway cruising for the most part.

On the road
Driving
Quiet, comfortable, full of goodies.
Performance
Very sluggish, engine needs to be pushed to get even acceptable performance although it does have predictive, neutral handling when pushed.
-
Living with it
Reliability
34 warranty recalls! Stuff is still falling off it. Catastrophic gearbox failure after 30,000 miles. Now the car has a cam rattle at 65,000 miles.
Image
Friends call my car the Over 75s!
Comfort
Very comfortable with all the toys that make driving easier and therefore more enjoyable. Would be better if it had the "lazy locking" facility of some of the 75's competitors.
