* Based on opinions and should be considered as general guidance only.

• Reliability (2)
  2 out of 5 stars
  Suffers from notorious longevity issues, particularly regarding the complex ABC hydraulic system, electronic sensors, and V12-specific ignition coils.
• Maintenance (1)
  1 out of 5 stars
  Maintenance costs are astronomical; parts are unique to the V12 flagship and labor-intensive repairs require specialized knowledge and deep pockets.
• Technology (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  Extremely advanced for 2003, featuring Distronic adaptive cruise control and pulse-massaging seats, even if the infotainment screen feels primitive today.
• Comfort (5)
  5 out of 5 stars
  Setting the gold standard for its era, the cabin features exquisite Nappa leather and an exceptionally quiet ride thanks to the Active Body Control suspension.
• Dynamics (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  The 5.5L biturbo V12 provides effortless, locomotive-like acceleration with 493 horsepower, though its sheer mass limits agility in tight corners.
