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

In their own words

A unique little car that blends practicality with searing performance accompanied by a sonorous soundtrack. Don't worry about adaptive dampers, standard setup ie excellent with less to go wrong in a few years time. Buy the ZF auto, it really is as good as the reviews suggest, all in all a brilliant little car that packs a punch!

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

This car is a fabulous all rounder, it ticks many box's. The engine is really nice, it sound great and delivers incredible pace when called upon. Non adaptive suspension is excellent managing to blend comfort with excellent handling. ZF auto is slick shifting, smooth, fast to respond with a great selection of ratios, 8th is a lovely relaxed cruising gear allowing the engine to maintain low rpm further increasing mpg.
