  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    A bit expensive, but given the equipment level, it's good value.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    If you do a lot of miles, petrol costs could be a bit high.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    A great drive.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Beautiful, smooth V6. Surprises when pushed given the size of the car. Nice sound at higher revs.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Regular (12 monthly) ignition coil failures which is extremely annoying as all six need replacement. Stereo suffers very loud pops which dealer is incapable of sorting out (probably indicative of electrical fault causing coil failiures?)

    Great, even for the rear passengers. Suspension a nice compromise between firmness and comfort.
