Good Points
Performance is awesome.
Sensible driving on a long runs gets you 30mpg plus
Buy used 4 year old onwards (the car would have taken its depreciation hammering by then).
Presence on the road is commanding and it does turn heads if you get the right colour, spec and 20 in alloys.
Bad Points
As with all large luxury saloons servicing/cost of ownership will be high.
General Comments
If you are looking for a sporting luxury saloon this is the car and the right engine. Good balance of raw speed and reasonable economy if you drive sensibly. Don't see the problem with I-Drive, its as easy as using a mouse on a computer. Make sure you go for the models with comfort seats.
