The people that did the test were wrong -- If they did the test again today they would find that the 603 is the best to live with for day to day driving and running costs except for maybe the Merc. Quite a few ex Aston owners now run a Bristol :-) Seen the light..

I think it was Autocar that voted the 411 S1 as their car of the year at one point, so these tests can be very eratic ! Although correct on that occasion.
