    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    The most fun you can have on four wheels at a sensible price.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Just so much get up and go - but you need to let the engine spin up the revs.

  • Living with it

    Maybe I have been lucky, but I have experienced only one problem and that was soon fixed.

    About as cool as you can get at the price. It makes BMW and Merc drivers look really stodgy.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Great driving position and comfort - best I have ever had. Passengers always remark favourably on the comfort as well.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good standard of factory-fitted security systems.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    The service garage was rather amateur in its admin, but when they did a job they seemed to do it well - Ryauto in Knowle now Guest.
