In their own words

Great car, quite rare car now, looks good in the colour i have, which is graphite and cream recaro sport seats, especially sport model as they sit lower to road, comfortable long distance cruiser, bought mine to travel around Europe, ive done over 50,000 miles in Europe. I do my own servicing, does 33mpg motorway steady 70, and genuine 150mph on one autobahn blast.Its the most reliable car I have ever had, I only paid £7750 for it in 2003, when it was 4 years old, the mileage was high at 117,000, but that did not put me off, as it had been well looked after, it now has 180,000 miles on clock, and runs just as good, the V6 30 valve engine is a gem. Car is not worth much now, but then again the depreciation over 16 years is minimal. Been a joy to own.

How reliable do you find the car?

Three new batteries in 16 years, rear brake caliper seized, new one from europarts £65 exchange.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Sport model has great handling, tiptronic gearbox, quality build,distinctive looks.over 20 years old now, and all electronic components still work, as they did when I purchased the car 16 years ago.
