-
Economy
Value
Bought a 42k-mile version with all the toys for £18k - great value when you compare to Merc and BMW.
Costs
Servicing purchase and running costs all cheaper than Merc and BMW.
-
On the road
Driving
Slightly soft on B-roads - majestic and quick cruiser.
Performance
stunning - 0-60 in Porsche time - faster than reps in 3 and 5-Series Beemers and scares hot hatches - now if it would just corner!
-
Living with it
Reliability
So far, so good!
Image
Keeps you out of the 'badge' wars - and lets you smile when you listen to what is in the £18k new Mondeo your neighbour just bought!
Comfort
Front rim trimmed in leather, surrounded by BOSE and hugged by climate control.
-
Security and Service
Security
Feels secure - and local scallies seem to think it is virtually impossible to nick!
Service
First dealer was appaling - not a clue! Changed and all is well again.
