On the road

Great fun, comfortable and will respond well to every command.

Quick acceleration and will hold the road well at speed, but just as enjoyable to drive around Town.

Living with it
Reliability
Not one problem as of yet, so top marks.
Image
Skirts, spoiler and alloys make this a tasty looking car but can easily be copied.
Comfort
Half leather seats are comfortable to sit in and plenty of room in the back. Seat adjustment to suit any size driver.
-
Security and Service
Security
Good alarm system as standard, but a higer grade system is worth the extra. Also removable stereo front and locking wheel nuts for that extra security.
Service
No pressure when buying the car, but the costumer service since has deteriorated.
