    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    I got a good deal. Otherwise I suppose it's better than a similar aged Mondeo etc for about the same price.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Good enough fuel economy on motorways but thirsty around town.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Lots of understeer. Great Motorway car. Low seating position. Nice gearbox.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very quick for a big saloon. Speed in all gears. Engine just pulls along all the time.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    Mechanically sound. Always starts when I need it to. Seems heavy on brakes. Could be me.

    Security

    Alarm kept going off when temperature rose or fell past about 10 degrees Celsius. V annoying in winter so I disconnected the alarm horn.

    Problems

    Engine

    Noisy in old age. No problems though.

    Other

    I have slated this car. I love this car. Am I stupid? Remote locking, despite battery changes had to be right up to the window to work. Sometimes didn't work at all. Twice window actuators jammed in the drivers door and bent. Several dash lights broke.
