Living with it
Reliability
No engine or drivetrain problems, only superficial electrics (interior lighting).
Image
Still looked upon as being sluggish and an old man's car, but can deliver a nasty shock to an unsuspecting boyracer in his RS Turbo.
Comfort
Effortless high-speed cruiser. Only 4000rmp at 110mph, also a very well appointed interior with super comfortable leather seats.
