I like
Effortless mile gobbling on motorways and dual carriageways
The limousine like ride
Big comfortable heated leather seats
Electric auto everything
Jukebox CD
Sat nav
Space
quiet ride
Economy - currently 45 mph for a daily journey of 50 miles each way sometimes in slow/standing traffic of ordinary country road/ dual carraigeway/ motorway/ dual carriageway/ country roads at legal/safe limits.
Paintwork still immaculate
Engine purrs once warm (diesel)
Reversing sensors
Reasonable reliabilty - broke down one - cost £1100 to fix new clutch and flywheel.
breakdown two - two fuses failed.
Not faceless uninteresting German machine with associated spare parts cost
I dislike
Depreciation
163000 miles on clock
Engine noise until warm
I have to part with her soon and she will fetch only £1000 to £1500 yet drives like new still


Am seriously considering moving to a new C5 - not much better accolade is there?
