Welcome to drive the debate

great engine, very smooth; good economy for 4.2V8, very comfortable, reliable

service costs high and dealer service dept. arrogant

This is one of the great second hand bargains: fantastic to drive, stylish and not one of "I like to conform with no personality" cars. 28-30mpg on the motorway is easy to obtain without holding up traffic yet put your foot down and this baby goes...and goes. 150 mph on (German) motorway and going strong and rock steady. It's a tragedy this car did not sell in greater numbers. Buy a low mileage car and enjoy.
