    Takes corners pretty well considering its height.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Responds well in 2nd and 3rd. Not great in first, though.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Engine cut out during summer, even with gentle breaking. Wasn't related to the hot spell though. Mechanics had no idea. Car no longer doing it. Somewhat bizarre!

    Looks hot. Ok, I blacked the windows which works BRILLIANTLY with the alloys and Magnum Grey bodywork!

    Comfort

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Leather seats firm, but comfortable, especially when warm!
