I have had a few nice cars, but none of them puts a smile on my face like this. There are many petrol cars on the road that simply cannot live with the pace of this car. The torque (especially in 3rd & 4th gears) is simply enormous!
In the 4years I've owned this car, i've only had one problem with it....the dreaded EGR valve went. However, £200 and it runs like a new car again!
Fuel economy is just breathtaking on a long run (up to 60mpg driven carefully) and for a 2.2 that isn't half bad! One of the nicest thing about the car is on motorways, you just stay in 6th gear and let the torque do all the work!
Only negative I can think of is it has a very hard ride due to very low profiles and sports suspension, but then if you don't want the hard ride, by the 2.2 Titanium instead......
Last thing to say is that this car goes WELL OVER its offical top speed of 137mph.....you can add at least another 10mph on top!!!!and possibly then some!
WHAT A CAR!!! ;o)
