Upper-range V6 variants are predictably not all that efficient, but the lower-range models are quite cost-effective. Good fuel economy characterises smaller engines - diesel models have brilliant consumption - and insurance groups are low considering the car's status. Variable service intervals should benefit smoother drivers, though crash repairs can be expensive to fix. And big alloy wheels may look good, but the tyres they're wrapped in are not cheap...
