Economy
Value
Amazing all-rounder. Very fast, safe, strong, comfortable and very well built; amazing value
Costs
Very heavy running costs, heavy fuel bills, but it's worth it.

On the road
Driving
Very agile for a big car. Will handle around the very twistey bits, if grabbed by the scruff of the neck. Exellent moterway drive. Not many other cars can touch it when it comes to motorway racing.
Performance
Breath-taking performance, lots of torque and devestating rib*crushing accseleration for a car that weighs 2 tonnes. You can wave good bye to arrogant BMW, Mercedes drivers at traffic lights and motorway.

Living with it
Reliability
Very reliable. Has to be mainted and serviced regularly.
Image
Very underrated, because lacking prestige badge, this car is the ultimate wolf in sheep's clothing.
Comfort
Very comfortable. Leaves its opponents in the shade when it comes to comfort.
