    Expecting a few due to dodgy reliability.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Six speed gearbox superb, nice noise, handling a bit raggy and steering lifeless.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good low down and mid range. Gear ratios still too close despite 6 speeds.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Dashboard light gremlins, gimcrack interior does not inspire confidence.
