On the road
Driving
Surprisingly good, although you can feel its weight shifting when pressing on. Very flat in corners. Fidgety ride however, which you can feel on rough motorways and in town.
Performance
Flies well when you boot it, engine sounds great too. Bit like an Audi five cylinder. Very long gearing (65 in second, 100 in third) means it cant pull a greasy stick out below 3500rpm.

Living with it
Reliability
OK so far. Had to get some rattles seen to.
Image
Feels imposing, but definate family image.
Comfort
Very comfy on long journeys. Fidget can spoil things on rough roads. Very quiet and stable at 90mph+
