General comments?
This car has been fantastic since the day I bought it. Great performance - not a lot to touch it on the road & it's only the 2.6 model.
Starting to show its age a little on the bodywork but still gets admiring glances when polished up.
Used virtually everyday, mix of long & short journeys, 95% reliable. Out of three breakdowns, 2 were due to a main dealers inability to diagnose a faulty battery! Find a good independent garage & you'll have no problems.
It will be a sad day when it has to go.
