Great

* Five-star furnishings for that first-class travel feel
* Suite-like space for you and your crew
* Most powerful engine is extremely quick and almost silent

Gripes

* Resale values are shocking, hopefully you're rich enough not to care
* Too many fiddly controls on the dash
* Most powerful engine is extremely thirsty

SafetySafety rating - 4 out of 5 stars
Airbags all-round in case you crash, plus driver aids to help prevent that happening
 Standards and extrasStandards and extras rating - 5 out of 5 stars
Very little doesn't come as standard, from four-zone climate control to sat-nav and rain-sensitive wipers
