Performance rating: 3 out of 53.0

Only two engines to pick between, a 2.0 four-cylinder or a very likeable 2.7-litre V6. Performance isn’t hugely different but the V6 does feel quite special.

It’s a big heavy car and feels a bit cumbersome on corners, but ride is reasonably good at speed. Steering is rather vague. Cruises on motorways perfectly well.
