Driving
Position is bad if you're over 6', as the driver's seat doesn't height adjust.
Performance
Drinks fuel at an alarming rate. Auto box kick down is erratic.

Living with it
Reliability
Shocking car. In 6 months I had to replace the head gaskets, gearbox, inlet manifold and a load of other faults. All in a car with less then 50k on the clock.
Image
Seen by non owners as quite desirable. A favourite amongst bank managers too!
Comfort
Good rear space, but seats lack support & adjustment.
