SLIGHT rust (bubbling just below petrol tank, & front corner n/s/f/door) - To be remedied, although note that this car is cherished and garaged.
Beautiful Car, both in looks and running
Slightly underpowered at low speeds, as regards acceleration, although it's an awesome motorway car (constant 125mph without complaint, and it feels like 70!)
For a big 2.0 engine, this car returns between 26 and 35 mpg (29 is the usual "urban" return) therefore I consider it economical.
Not very expensive to run or service, parts no dearer (and sometimes cheaper) than most makes.
This car is 12 years old, and I've owned it for 6 (I bought it from the one previous private owner) - I can't see it not lasting another 12...
I just bought one and wow, its great, prob actually next to a jag the nicest motorway cruiser I have ever had and if you wind up the revs it really takes off, does the MPG in though, totally sorted lovely piece of german engineering.
