Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Cash back, free insurance, free black paint and a dealer discount isn't too bad.
Costs
Very good fuel economy (nearly 45mpg) and it gets driven hard. First service was £130.

On the road
Driving
Serious fun on country lanes in the dry. Michelin Pilot Sports aren't much good in the wet, though.
Performance
Quick enough. Just about right given its size.

Living with it
Reliability
Mechanically, just about bombproof. Gave it an absolute thrashing to Le Mans.
Image
Not the best. Get viewed as a boy racer.
Comfort
Ride not too bad. Driving postion awful - pedals too close together, gear lever too low and seats are thin and unsupportive.
-
Security and Service
Security
No alarm and no deadlocks.
Service
As with most mainstream manufacturers, depends on your local dealership. Mine happens to be useless.
