Only 105bhp but with no windscreen it feels as fast as any supercar.

As good as any other new car.

Ignorant types say you'll look stupid, but most people love it.

No door locks or alarm, but people tend to leave them well alone anyway.
Service
Only 5 new dealers in the country, but they're as bespoke as any small-volume brand. Superb.
