It's impossible to justify this range-topping model because of its lacklustre powertrain, but luckily the smaller engines with manual gearboxes perform much better, and would score four stars. Ride quality is an issue on bigger wheels, but there's nothing wrong with the sharp handling and superb high-speed refinement. The 500 sub-brand is in safe hands.
