On the road
Driving
Nice ride if you like it serious. Good on the motorway.
Performance
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
Reliability
Very good so far, touch wood.
Image
Change the wheels and drop it and soon looks serious. Nothing bad about standard.
Comfort
Very good when you're snuggled up in those fine Recaros.
