    Good value for what you get.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    High insurance, especially when you're only 17. High fuel economy - drinks it like there's no tommorow.

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Nice ride if you like it serious. Good on the motorway.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Quick and responsive. Nothing will keep with it in its class. Fit a performance exhaust and filter and you can feel those extra horses.

  • Living with it

    Change the wheels and drop it and soon looks serious. Nothing bad about standard.

    Very good when you're snuggled up in those fine Recaros.
