    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good driving position, handles well, but does weave a little in the wet when accelerating. A bit thirsty on the gas though.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Goes well, but you pay for it at the pump. 4 wheel steer makes handling better than traditional cars.

    A performance car for the understated that even your Gran could drive to the shops. Understated street racer?

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Great if you're in the front, but it's designed for the driver, not for the back seat driver.
