  • Summary

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What does this car say about you?

    Hopefully, that I don't follow the crowd, like a bit of comfort and elegance. Some will think 'old man driver' but they are wrong and open their eyes.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    Again a few old man jokes, they soon shut up when the learn I have a 2 yr old gadget laden luxury tourer with 6,000 miles on the clock, for £8.5k

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Yes, just wish i was rich enough to get the 2.0 BMW diesel engine.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Give me time

    June 2007

    Got £500 of list price, 1yrs warranty thrown in, 6 months tax and a loan at the same rate as my bank. Also got the mats and flaps bit too.

    Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

    The car had a ridiculous low mileage of 6,000 miles, coupled with the best interior of any car less than a top line Jaguar. Previously owned by an 'old boy' and was like new. All for £8.5k? Bargain!!

    What was the dealer like?

    It was an MG/Rover dealer when they were still going, they supplied the car originally and the salesman was great.

  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    It's only the 1.8 normally aspriated, so it's not a rocket ship. It's a smooth crusier, it soaks up the bumps and makes the daily grind more bearable

    What's it like to park?

    Rear Parking Sensors fitted so its a doddle. It is a big vehicle, but can be driven with confidence.

  • Living with it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Only had it 500 miles, everything works like new. You can tell the germans had a had in this one.

    What's most practical about your car?

    The tourer bodyshape is great for my dogs, but its not a box like estate. Looks sleek and elegant.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Love the big leather seats, classy dash and the climate control goes from Baltic to Sahara in seconds.
