In their own words

Fantastic, smooth and powerful drive, whilst being very spacious and practical. Have owned mine for nearly 10 years and probably the best daily driver I’ve ever owned. The build quality is as good as I’ve come across and better than newer BMWs. The boot opens and closes at the touch of a button on the key and boot respectively. The boot space is a great shape with no wheel arch encroaching into the boot space. Seats fold almost flat. On board trip meter shows just over 40mpg on a run. Amazing motorway car.
