"Great value V6 monster"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The car sometimes stalls when cold, but then restarts fine, it's going back next week.

The CD Auto changer is playing up.

New exhaust needed £277 for the back and mid section.

New tyres, Avon ZZ1 205/50/ZR16, £85 each.

General comments?

I'm averaging 15 mpg, probably due to my driving style, I got 25 mpg on a long run.

I find the car slides across the road if a bend is taken too fast, almost as if the suspension is too hard.

Easily keeps up with BMW 325's and 535's as I tend to go BMW thrashing.

When the traction control kicks in the accelerator pedal pushes your foot back, this was a bit of a shock when it first happened.

I'm glad someone else has had the same thing happen, Twice now when going into a roundabout I have nearly lost the back end. I wouldn't say as a rule I was going that fast, but maybe you get to used to its good handling and take it for granted!

I have also had a rather scary time on a roundabout where I thought I was driving a rear wheel drive car the way back end came round, I agree that the suspension seems to be the key to this.
