Onthemotorway,itsunflinching appetite for blistering acceleration ensured a couple of 600-mile trips to the north of Scotland were completed in exemplary fashion.I nevertired of its ability to blast pastlighter, more agile cars, while the exquisitely built cabin and spacious rear seats meant my family travelled in supreme comfort.
