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

In their own words

Very noisy and the "leather" seats are more like hard plastic. Both sun visors are continually replaced because of the stupid plastic hinges. Why not use slider type. Oil drain plug is in a position where the oil can't drain without splashing off the suspension. The oil filter is difficult to access. One good thing is...it goes like a rocket, absolutely no problem overtaking. Transmission clonks sometimes when the oil is hot and moving off from traffic lights, but clears once it changes up a couple of gears. Suspect torque converter.

How reliable do you find the car?

Tailgate lock broke. I got a replacement and fitted it myself, however, I'm an engineer and don't think a weekend "mechanic" should attempt.
