Summary
What does this car say about you?
Spot me if you can, I'm a sensible nutter.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
I've not heard any negative feedback from anyone that's seen it or been in it. They laugh at the fuel consumption though.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Absolutely. It's exactlky what I want. Power, stability and subtlety (when I want it:)
What are you likely to buy next?
The next MPS!
-

Didn't buy from a dealer
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£18,000

April 2007
Did you get a good deal and why?
I went in with a price I wanted to pay for the car and paid it.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
An alternative to the usual 4WD performance saloons...

Good.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Fantastic. A friend took one on a track weekend to Germany and said it was unelievable. When it snowed, it beat everything on the track hands down (including v. high performance sports cars). It performs best on country roads with plenty of bends.
What's it like to park?
I don't think it does have a great turninig circle, but I suspect that's to maintain stability at the limited top speed of 155mph. You don't buy this car to park it.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing at all.
What's most practical about your car?
It's a good-sized family car that won't leave the road in adverse conditions.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
I don't know if the electronic stability control counts, but it makes this car almost impossible to drive beyond your capabilities (there's an off switch too of course:)
