    Loads of kit for the money. All high quality materials.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    A bit thirsty (28mpg), but then again I do like to use the performance. Holds its value though.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Excellent as a motorway cruiser or on fast A-roads. Perhaps a bit too big for throwing around B-roads.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very few 'normal' cars keep up with it away from the lights or on the move.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Not Japanese. Had a few electrical problems (Locks, windows etc).
