    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Dead cheap. Just picked up a P-reg with 65k miles for £1000 (March '03).

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Lots spent on it last year apparently, so I'm hoping for a bit of trouble-free motoring.

    Not everyone likes the ride, but I do. I find it very comfortable.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    A lot of power from a 2.0-litre engine for such a big car.

    I've always liked the look of them, right back to the first one I saw in 1991. I think they still look nice.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very comfortable seats and a lovely interior.

    Deadlocks, alarm, immobiliser and yet who would nick it?
