    Looks wicked.

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Harsh ride and its difficult to hold on the road if there is any camber.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Seems very good.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Fixed faults no problem, but would not cover checking the tracking under warranty that was causing tyre wear. I cannot count how many times I've heard "all 3 series Sports tram line like that". Seemed like an excuse to not look any further!
