Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Leaked like a bottomless bucket, had to lift feet out of foot well when braking with the rush of water from rear foot well to front. Never got to the bottom of the leak problem, just drilled holes in the floor
What's most practical about your car?
Excellent tow car, you could reverse it into the sea whilst launching boats, it never broke down as a result of mis -treatment, you could drive it into town, go on the beer and rest assured you could collect it the next day with out the fear anyone would nick it.( just remove the V6 badges)
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Selectable traction controll illuminated visor mirrors??? why I don't know why they bothered
