    Value

    Bought for £1850 from auction. Mint metalic green with biscuit hide and every goodie. Ex-Rover show car cost £24,500 just 4 years ago!

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good fuel and high 30s mpg. Parts better than most. Bargain insurance.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very quick (far better than my last Merc). Auto ideal for this kind of car. Can be a little noisy.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Doesn't need any more power. 2.3 twin-cam Honda engine refined and fast.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Mostly excellent, but endless alarm probs and driver's window lift (both common faults).

    Steady middle management type.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Sumptuous and every imaginable extra, except sat nav.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Dodgy alarm. Guess not a joy rider's first choice. Like a BMW, but will still be on your drive in the morning!

    Service

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Main dealer has a rather 'remote' attitude. Have found an unfranchised specialist who is spot on.
