It's a great car,but what are the running costs?I mean I'm sure it uses a lot of petrol and would be very expensive to keep.But I found the steering very smooth and easy though,and I thought the car's warning lamps were useful.In fact if I had money I'd probably buy it as I'm not very fond of some of the other new cars I've seen.Another thing that impressed me about this one was...I like the way the heating and ventilation were kept separate_that's a really excellent idea_it's so easy to get mixed up when they're too close together.No,I thought it was absolutely terrific for someone rich enough!
