"Dull and slow performer with reasonable handling"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The head gasket blew at 20k miles, then it blew again at 45k miles.
The heater matrix developed a leak.
Both front wheel bearing needed replacing at around 75k miles.
Near side electric window motor broke.
Right front brake caliper started binding recently.
General comments?
Average dull family car.
Bland looks makes it invisible.
Reasonable second hand buy if you find one cheap.
Slow performer despite GT badge.
Rough ride, but reasonable handling.
