    3 out of 5 3.0

    Cheap to buy - for a reason...

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Expensive parts. Electrics are pricey to replace.

  • On the road

    Driving

    1 out of 5 1.0

    2 litre too sluggish. Good grip though.

    Performance

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Needs the 2.5; 2.0 is OK, but a bit slow.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Maybe I was unlucky, but it spent more time in the garage than my driveway.

    Not as bad as you might think. Impressive from the front!

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    At 6' 2", I was fine. Comfortable and well screwed together inside.
