Bought 2nd hand for next to nothing. Awful lot of car for peanuts.
Costs
235/45 tyres don't last much past 15k. 26.8mpg average over last 6,000m. Cambelt every 40,000m is £400 including tensioners.Most genuiune parts reasonable but dealer prices do vary greatly, so shop around. Generally cheaper to run that other exec saloons.

Living with it
Reliability
Only car I've had that has never broken down on me. Drivers door lock is a pain in damp weather. Had a new battery and exhaust, only to be expected at this age.
Image
Most people are indifferent about it, until they get in it, then they love it.
Comfort
Lots of room for passangers, and the boot is massive. It's had 4 lots of golf stuff in. Adult in middle of back seat has to put up with the large drive shaft tunnel though.

Security
Unsure how secure it is. Nobody has ever tried to get in, so I haven't had any hassles on this front.
Service
Shop around. Intermediate servincing quotes from 3 local dealers varies from £90 to £200.
