  1. Great cars, I also had a 3.2 and was really impressed with it.  Averaged 18.5mpg over 10k miles, but due to the large fuel tank it never seemed so bad as it still had a decent range.

    The engine is a little torque light so you get the best from it with a few revs.  Not a problem as it makes a really nice noise.  The handling was fantastic too, far better to drive than something of its size and weight.

    Mine was very reliable, had to change 2 parking sensors (you can tell which ones are broken by getting down on your hands and knees and listening to whether they tick or not.  Usually the two outer sensors above the exhausts go first)  and the central prop bearing.  I used these chaps, who were excellent  http://www.jwtransmissions.co.uk/ 

    My wife always found it a little on the big size for parking (its very wide, but not so long) so never really jelled with it.  She loved being driven in it ironically!
