    Like all high class vehicles, nothing should go wrong. But if it does see your bank manager!

    Very good, but the soft ride quality causes it to wallow through corners. All that weight doesn't help performance.

    If you're a speed freak, buy the most powerful engine you can afford to run. the 2.5l 10v is just "OK".
