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

  • Economy

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Fair value. A genuinely premium car and experience, but appropriately cheaper than the Porsche

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Ok, insurance higher than expected, but mpg is very good relative to competition and drive experience

  • On the road

    Driving

    Great engine note, steering feels less secure and reliable than a Boxster

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good - I haven't driven a 3 litre version, but apart from expert drivers suspect that would be superfluous. You have what you need when you want it

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    I've marked neutral as too early to say.The car has only 5000 miles as so hasn't been tested in that regard

    Certainly turns heads, i chose Black Metallic with Beige Leather which whilst leading to dirt sensitivity inside and out, certainly gets attention

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Fine as Roadsters go and ambience is ahead of the Boxster

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Drive feels disappointingly unstable on the testier and lumpier B roads although copes well with wet and DTC seems effective enough

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Fine, nothing remarkably good or bad
