"Beautiful, drivable, affordable status symbol"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

General comments?

I love this car.

I bought it in immaculate condition and despite the high mileage it runs like a dream.

One drawback is that you have to keep the revs up to get any fun out of it - it is definitely underpowered in the lower gears. But then it's a big car, not a nippy speedster, although it can wheel-spin with the best of them if you choose to drive it that way.

It eats motorways for breakfast - it's at its best accelerating from 70mph.

The interior is very comfortable, definitely king for a day.

Mine has beautiful alloys - everyone admires the car.

Tyres are laughably expensive - £130. Each.

It is possible to get the tires at £55-£60 each, I've seen Michelin tires at £100 each. You've gotta quote round.
