Great

* Packs a hefty punch from the mighty 6.0-litre engine
* Plenty of space inside the car – it's practical too
* Great fun to drive, you'll beg to be the designated driver

Gripes

* The engine sounds more purring kitten than roaring lion
* Steering isn’t as much fun as you’d want it to be
* Running costs are astronomical
DriveDrive rating - 4 out of 5 stars
Masses of power and grip, and standstill to 60mph in less than five seconds
ReliabilityReliability rating - 3 out of 5 stars
Solidly built, but mechanical reliability is an unknown quantity so far
InsideInside rating - 3 out of 5 stars
Console yourself that while the design is incredibly dull, you're sitting comfortably
SpaceSpace rating - 4 out of 5 stars
A surprising amount of space for a sports saloon: room for four people and their luggage
SafetySafety rating - 3 out of 5 stars
Plenty of protection if you get carried away on slippery roads. No deadlocks is a security weakness
Standards and extrasStandards and extras rating - 3 out of 5 stars
No extras, but the standard equipment won’t disappoint
