Perhaps the most underrated performance car available, based on cost.

Main dealer is very expensive - find independent specialists to keep costs down. Returns impressive economy on journeys.

On the road
Driving
Handling safe and secure - remember this is a BIG car. Not the best gearbox.
Performance
Deserves 5 stars, but gearbox makes it hard to exploit the power in lower gears. Acceleration in 4th/5th almost in supercar class. Wet driving difficult, however turbo makes up for any shortcomings.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Depends on spec. Overall immensely robust, but has air con, cruise control, electric everything - so can be expensive if they go wrong.
Image
Understated and classy.Turbo models hide their performance potential well.
Comfort
Superb. Excellent seats, very relaxed. Seats five adults with ease.
