    Decent value for performance and fun.

    Not too bad so far, but a bit pricey. £25 for a windscreen wiper anyone?

    Looks good and isn't that common.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Firm seats are comfortable too, can be a bit of a stretch though, gearstick is too far forward and the radio set too low down.
