    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I like it. Feels secure, stable and solid to drive. Fast enough to get the adrenaline going.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good for a heavy car. A litle slow from the standing, but very quickly picks up a pace and does not stop for breath.

  • Living with it

    Probably a bit dated and boring, but is all leather inside and beautifully kept.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Comfort could be better, but overall it is good for its age and mileage.
