Very comfortable and sophisticated car to drive, but almost too boring. This car makes you enjoy normal commuting and 99% of driving, whereas the older models are not as comfortable but can offers thrills this one can't. I've owned it for a little over a year now, and not too much has gone wrong with it. Fuel economy is good for an engine this large.

Performance: 4.4 V8 is fast. Brakes are great, handles as well as the Saloon which is no bad thing.
Build Quality: Good, as expected.
Appearance: Good looking, rare alloys
Cost of Ownership: Thirsty, don't expect the quoted MPG
Fun Factor: Fun to drive, feels safe so you can push it a bit

The 4.4 V8 really makes the 540 an unbelievably fast car. The 6 speed manual only adds the
fun to it.
