On the road
Driving
Excellent, comfortable ride. At home at high speed and good round bends.
Performance
Surprisingly quick for large car and 2 litre. If pushed, can get away at lights and will sit at high speeds easily. Will go for 2.5 or 3.0 next time, though.

Living with it
Reliability
No major problems suffered.
Image
Not a BMW, but understated quality and prestige.
Comfort
Apart from my Prelude, most comfortable car I've had. (My wife fell asleep in passenger seat of both all the time).

Security and Service
Security
Never had a break in, but as 'Mr Careful, made sure to use steering wheel and gear stick locks.
Service
My local Vauxhall garage are pretty useless.
