Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Great value for that 2.8 V6 engine.
Costs
28mpg not bad for performance. Group 17 insurance. Other stuff on par with a repmobile. 10,000 mile intervals for service pretty good.

On the road
Driving
Not as much grip as I would like. Great cruiser, though.
Performance
For the money, REALLY quick. Great sounding V6 leaves most GTis standing.

Living with it
Reliability
12,000 miles so far and nothing to report.
Image
Wolf in sheep's clothing - it's a cliche, but it's true. Solid and dependable, unless you know what the tiny badges mean is under the bonnet.
Comfort
Very good compromise between comfort and grip. Maybe slightly stiffer springs wouldn't hurt.

Security
I fitted a Cat 1 - only way the insurers would touch me.
