Good Points
Good fuel economy considering speed and weight.
Excellent drive
Smooth V6 engine ( actually 2.5 litre )
Responsive steering
Big service interval periods
Very quick when needed
Cruises merrily when full laden
Bad Points
Fairly Expensive to maintain
Rear wheel drive means less grip in wet and snow.
Gearboxes are a bit notchy.
General Comments
I have had mine over a year now, and can say it is a fantastic car.
I do a lot of miles so need good economy, but wanted something quick.
This car was the answer for my prayers, excellent motorway driving. Smooth engine and sounds awesome when it starts from cold.
Considering it's as quick as a new toyota MR2 and confortably cruises along, even with 5 people in the car.
Not bad for a family car, and with >30 mpg.
I love it.
