Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
On the road
Driving
Smooth and quite refined. Feels like a quality machine. Good ride, but a bit stodgy on corners. Nice gearchange.
Performance
Cruises effortlessly. Reponsive low in rev band, but has to be worked at higher revs when engine can sound a little harsh.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Virtually nothing to do in 35,000 miles (has done 45,000).
Image
A quality car, but sensible rather than anything else.
Comfort
Decent seats, though a little short in front squab and not nearly grippy enough on body - made for fat Germans?
