Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Heavy depreciation.
Costs
Not bad. But servicing from the main dealer is very expensive. Gas is terrible in this car, you really have to keep revs low for it to be OK, but that's hard as it is an Auto.

On the road
Driving
I like driving this car, it handles well with precise steering and nice revving engines, but does sound loud when up there. Gearbox is not great as it vibrates when held in drive, but eases up when engine has been running for a while.
Performance
Car can be very fast, especially taking off at traffic lights with a full throttle. It does shock other drivers.
