Great value, major expense in 106,000 miles being tyres, brakes, and exhaust.

Bought as an alternative to my company car this car had me laughing all the way to the bank.

Comfortable, relaxed, grown-up.

Can move when asked, 60-80 mph pick up especially reassuring on motorway.

Living with it
Reliability
Not a problem, even when it did act up it always got you home.
Image
Still looks classy, but it's image is such that you will find other drives letting you out at junctions, something that you would find driving an older BMW.
Comfort
400 mile same day roundtrips done easily and in comfort.
