Driving
Very good roadholding and feels like a real driver's car.
Performance
For 155bhp, it's very very quick, especially at high revs. Beautiful-sounding engine and holds the road impeccibly in the dry. Excellent in the wet, too.

Living with it
Reliability
Surprisingly, no problems. Like a new German motor.
Image
Amazing looking car. Constantly impresses and receives aesthetic compliments. The grown up hot-hatch!
Comfort
Excellent until the longest of motorway journeys. 5 cylinder, 2.0 engine is effortless cruiser.

Required new journal bearing, done under warranty, even though it had expired! Otherwise a reliable monster!
