For
Adds even more kit to lavish standard spec, including important sat nav. V8 burble is pleasing, and ride comfort is good. Safety is top notch too.
Against
Not remotely sporty, with stodgy handling, lifeless steering and a jerky gearbox. For £50k quality should be miles better, and the cabin is nothing special.

Apart from satellite-navigation, this doesn’t really offer much more than standard version. Still, if you must have the ‘ultimate’ edition, here it is - but it’s highly flawed.
