    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Surprisingly inexpensive to buy and at this age depreciation is minimal.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    It is thirsty especially if your driving is spirited. Use an independent specialist for servicing to avoid huge bills. I have had it converted to LPG and my fuel costs have almost halved.

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Exactly as expected and wanted, absolutely wonderful in every department whether cruising the motorway or out on the twisty bits.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Enough power on tap for all occasions.

    As far as I am concerned, it is second to none. Just drive safe in the knowledge that you can't get more car for the money and forget other people's view of it as an old man's car.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    The best! Only an S Class or Rolls can compare.

    Security
