Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
In nearly eight years this car has been a god send. I'm writing this review to document how amazing this car has been . I've been everywhere in it pushed it hard and sweet f a has gone wrong, and I've had a lot of cars this walked over all of them. Only tyres brakes etc ever needed replacing.
What's most practical about your car?
Fuel economy on a 2.5 is incredible. I've got 50 mpg out of it on the motorway!! Yet it can do 140 mph. Which I can vouch for.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Heated leather traction control air con cd multi changer erm I'll chose traction control.
