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

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Handles like it's on rails. Could do with short change gearbox.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    On its day, it'll give an Impreza Turbo a run for its money.

  • Living with it

    1 out of 5 1.0

    There is no word in the English dictionary to describe how poor it is.
