    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    The car is lovely to drive especially on long journeys. Suspension a bit weak on bends, but its not an Si so has standard oil suspension

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Satisfactory, but sluggish on overtaking esp on hills. You need to flip to sports mode and give it welly to make it go
