The rest of the interior is beautiful though.

I don't seem to experience the issues they described with the transmission, but I am always in sport mode and use the paddles when I drive it. It could definitely use an extra gear though.

What I love about the car is the beautiful, classy styling, and the sound from the V8 is like nothing else. In sport mode the exhaust is much louder, and just intoxifying. It's shortcomings are not anything my Dad cares about so the car is perfect for him.

Nothing wrong with having an older tech car, especially with this intoxicating engine!
