  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Fantastic to drive, doesnt have the punch of a turbo, but boy does it go when revved and sounds great... nice weighted steering and a very torquey engine makes town driving so easy. Handles really well, totally planted all the time, but that would be the sport kit.

    Very easy, with park assist, good turning circle.
