General Comments:
Lovely growly V6 engine, giving out some serious power. Acceleration is 0-60 in about 8 seconds, which is pretty acceptable for this car, as it is rather heavy.
Looks fantastic, totally stands out in the car park from all the other boring boring BMWs, Mercs etc etc yawn! For a car that is 10 years old, it certainly still holds its own on styling and performance.
Inside is a little but plasticy, but still modern looking, with the swooping dashboard.
Only downside is that it is a high maintenance car, you will need to put the time in looking after it. Do not rely on garages to know anything about it.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
