    Let someone else take the depreciation hit.

    Expensive - but to be expected for class of car.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Excellent drive - not a sports car, but it doesn't pretend to be.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    For such a big car with a 2 litre - excellent. Mid range torque is ample for overtaking.
