Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    The car comes very well loaded and, certainly when bought as a used car, is exceptional value.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Servicing is expensive, but always has been. Still if you replace it with genuine parts you get what you pay for.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    This is a motorway car, not a sports car. When driven as such it is a pure joy. The size of the car takes some getting used to. It is surprisingly wide.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Stands alongside any other car of the same bracket. Easily as good as Saab, BMW and Mercedes. Plenty of mid range power for overtaking, which adds to the safety.

  • Living with it

    Flat cap and 2 labradors needed. The image has received far better reaction than I first thought it would. Most people agree it is a very good looking and comfortable car.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Plenty of room front and back. The leather seats are very soft and comfortable. Real arm chair driving.
