if you can afford the petrol this is the car to buy second hand, I had mine for years and nearly cried to see it go - but I couldn't afford the petrol for it any more due to the recession, dam I miss that car, I had the top of the range, electric everything, including heated seats, drove 2,500 miles in France on holiday and with the a/c and leather seats it was pure pleasure, seats so comfortable, 24 valve 3 lit engine so quick. When ticking over I could balance a 50p piece on edge on the engine, so smooth. Ok so its not a fashionable badge - on the plus side its cheap to buy second hand - but your likely to take a hit on the resale for the same reason. best car I ever had, miss it!
