Economy
Value
Unbelievable, this or a Ford Escort ??
Costs
I've had no major problems in over 5 years, 27MPG average, parts not cheap but no worse than rivals, do all my own servicing, never touch garages !!

On the road
Driving
I would need 2 cars to better this car, e.g. a Ferrari and a Rolls.
Performance
Probably best V6 in the world, takes off at 4500RPM as if turbocharged, fantastic sound, serene cruiser

Living with it
Reliability
No real problems in over 5 years, however they can be delicate, handle with care.
Image
Couldn't care a less, it's the driving that counts but it is styled by Pininfarina for those in the know.
Comfort
I have not driven anything that combines such comfort with pure driving satisfaction.

Security and Service
Security
Not that bothered, not a real target I would have thought.
Service
I don't and wouldn't touch the dealers for service, I do my own.
