Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Depreciates horribly, even second-hand.
Costs
Service costs reasonable for a big car. Some spares ridiculously expensive.

On the road
Driving
Fantastic straight line performance, rolls too much in the bends due to soft suspension. Understeer ultimately limits the fun.
Performance
Pulls like a train from 35-90mph. Not quite as good from a standing start due to the front wheel drive but awesome when moving.

Living with it
Reliability
A few minor niggles fixed by dealer under warranty but more seriously two front wheel bearings at 55,000 miles cost £530 at dealer prices! Also had some suspension problems. Electrics generally reliable.
Image
Everyone likes it and it looks great.
Comfort
Most comfortable seats I've ever had in a car. Very practical, seats 5 full size adults plus luggage.
