On the road
Driving
Loves the motorway and B-roads, but can feel very awkward around town. The car feels heavy at the front and difficult to drive fast over poor road surfaces.
Performance
Very quick and can match most cars on the road. Never left wanting when overtaking. My friends call it a missile.

Living with it
Reliability
Good; feels it could last 200,000 miles, just needs attention now and again. Never have to doubt if it will start in the morning.
Image
New model now makes it look dated, but still classy.
Comfort
Absolute comfort - a cruising machine.
