    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    You can't get anything this quick with 5 seats for the money. It's luxurious, too!

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    For this kind of power and luxury it's cheap. Drive very hard and you'll still get 20mpg. Vauxhall price parts and wave as you go past the big Mercs & BMWs. They won't keep up!

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    A nicely balanced and refined drive belies its size, but you have to be carefull in the wet.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    160mph and 110-150mph in 20 secs! No wonder the police still show respect for my car! They miss it so much!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    At 165,000 fast miles, I'm just doing it up for the next 165k. I'd have no hesitation in going to Spain in it tomorrow. I'd prefer the autobhans though to thrash a few more of their 155mph cars!!

    Properly trained Police drivers are some of the best and most qualified drivers on our road today, and they rate the car. From schoolkids to pensioners, everybody thinks it's a cool car!

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    A good ride. Plenty of room for 5 big people and sufficient luxury appointments make it a pleasure to drive and own.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    No security devices, but it's too old to nick and it is an old car.
