General Comments

Bought my 2001 Elegance estate car at 6 months old. Had seen cars like it and wanted one. I found it and bought it. 2 weeks after buying it its value had dropped significantly but I still loved it. I now use it for work and cover some 40,000 miles a year, it was expensive trying to keep up with the 9000 mile services. Its out of warranty now and have found a service at 20,000 miles is fine.
I like the other reviewers have the 17" alloys fitted although when I bought the car it was fitted with 15" wheels. The road noise is terrible on dunlops I now run on Toyos ther great and quiet when new only noisy when they get down to their limit. The one thing that bugs me about the car and it has been in the garage and had head technicians and the like look at it for is the vibration through the steering. For a car of its calliber this shouldnt be there. It also eats brake disks like there made of butter and replacing them costs an arm and a leg. And yet I still love it...WHY ??? Anyone that wants to own a really great looking estate car should buy one BUT be prepared to be let down by a few things.

    Change your own brake pads - Uprated ones from EBC cost me £24 and they're heavy duty.

    I have yet to understand why I keep spending money on it, love is blind?

    Change the oil and filters every 6k, sparks can be done at 54k (long life ones)

    If its auto, the biggest worry is the autobox failing, get it changed to amsoil as soon as you can
