Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Low secondhand value demonstrates the high depreciation!

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Unfortunately expensive but use the internet to locate spares.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Lovely to drive, except for the crap selespeed.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Not to great round town or in heavy slow traffic as selespeed is not flexible enough, but open road or motorway is amazing but can be a bit juicy.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Selespeed not good. Problems going into 3rd and a really annoying loud squeaking noise from the suspension is driving me mad as the cause cannot be found!
