I got an excellent price on it used, especially since it's fully loaded.

Parts can be fairly expensive and it goes through quite a lot of fuel.

On the road
Driving
Handling is vague and steering is much to light. Easy to predict when cornering but little fun.
Performance
0-30 seems slow but it seems to pick up when you get into 3rd gear. It has enough poke on motorways and the like.

Reliability
I have never been let down by this car.

The CD is fully loaded with leather seats and the like making it look sweet.
Comfort
Very comfortable.
