Because I like them, and this one was in mint condition, I've always liked them.

Not a dealer.

What's it like to drive?

To drive this car is a dream, so quiet and sumptuous it is like driving from your favourite arm chair. the inside climate control is second to none, I've not tried the cruise control yet as I like to be in control when I'm driving. overtaking is such a breeze, light kick down and you are past it, the response is superb.

What's it like to park?

I am an experienced driver and have never had a problem parking. Some times with it being a long wheel base there are restrictions but manouvorabilityis easy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

I keep having the traction control and stability control warning come on , though not all the time, and just recently the top hose came off, probably due to a weak hose clip so replacing it with jubilee.

What's most practical about your car?

I don't think there is anything practical about the car it is just such a joy to drive and in comfort + instant reaction to acceleration and braking.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Sports mode and all adjustments can be made from inside at the touch of a button.
