2 out of 5 stars

For The engines are smooth, the ride is comfortable, and it's good value for money

Against Headroom is a bit tight in the rear, and it's not as sharp to drive as a BMW 5 Series

Verdict It's not quite a BMW-beater, but it’s a refined alternative that's worth considering

Go for… 2.7 D V6 SE

Avoid… 4.2 V8 R

1. The centre of the dashboard contains an almost bewildering array of buttons
2. Go for later cars - early models suffered from ignition coil failures, premature engine wear and electrical problems caused by water leaks
3. High-mileage cars should be avoided, while mid-mileage examples should be given a very thorough examination
4. Tall back seat passengers will find their heads brushing the roof
5. The luggage space is long and shallow, and getting stuff in and out isn't easy
