Now using the new Petronas Primax 3 and it seems to have more oomph and has good mileage too.However whatever it is, the E23 2.8L m30 engine will surely drink a lot of petrol. It is much better in long distance. Short distances or stop start traffic, it is actually not as easy to drive as a japanese car.For your wife I am not sure if it is a good choice. Firstly you say her foot is painful. The accelerator pedal is actually quite stiff in the E23, not like Japanese cars. My left foot actually aches a bit the first time I used it.Secondly it's a tank, a bit hard to judge parking, but then again you can probably squash any kancil and use other cars as your crumple zone.But I still like driving it, smooth, quiet, the m30 6 cylinder engine purrs and delivers the power when you need it.On the highway it is good,smooth as the E23 was bred to cruise the Autobahn!</blockquote>
