Our thoughts on the P6
Jon: I like her.
Jules: I like her a lot. What was your favourite bit?
Jon: The kickdown on the automatic gearbox. So smooth you hardly know it. The engine vrooms away, working its little socks off - makes absolutely no difference to the speed of the car whatever but sounds so nice.
Jules: That's never going to happen with only 2 litres in 2 tons of car.
Jon: She even kicks down into first if you're going slow enough when you boot it! What did you like best?
Jules: The feel of sitting in a well-made car. Old fashioned luxury. The leather seats, the proper steering wheel, the "DELAY" wipers, the CIGAR LIGHTER - so posh.
Jon: I also like the way no-one pulls out in front of you at junctions or roundabouts. You'd have to be very stupid to want to risk getting in the way of this amount of metal. And, amazingly for such a large chunk, she handles superbly - just four-wheel-drifts round corners - no understeer or oversteer - I'd never expected that.
Jules: A real beauty then - we're proud to have known her. What have we got to test next? Oh god - it's the Allegro...
