On the road
Driving
Only gripe is lack of power - 0-35 in approx 2 months. Roadholding amazing - sticks to road like glue, even when cornering at high speed - superb - but go for a bigger engine.
Performance
Excellent. Only gripe I had overall was, as mentioned above, lack of power in 1st and 2nd gears. Other than that fine - comfortable even on very long journeys; Very refined, comfy ride. Extras are nice.
