General Comments:

This car has tremendous presence, even in standard wheelbase form, due to its size-check it fits your garage!

The interior has exceptional ambience due to the clever mixture of chrome, leather and wood. Everything fits, clicks, closes and operates nicely-no sloppy levers...

Despite the performance figures, this vehicle is heavy and is best at wafting around. If you are worried about fuel consumption, don't buy it!

The ride is surprisingly clonky on poor surfaces, even with everything in order. High speed cruising is very quiet and its very easy to exceed speed limits because of this.

Rear seat comfort is better than the fronts, which are rather flat. The steering wheel is much too large, given the assistance available.

Much vaunted build quality is let down by rather flimsy and brittle plastics, and trim items. Boot trim is satisfactory, but not sturdy like my Saab 9000.

Although the dash is uncluttered, you have to learn the functions of lots of small buttons-and this takes time. You can't jump in and have everything learned in 2 minutes.
