    Fuel, tyres, servicing predictably quite expensive. My Insurance was less than Nissan 200SX more than BMW 328i.

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Amazing handling. Four wheel steering a bit weird to start with but now I love it! Sequential shift is great.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Fantastic acceleration and the engine noise makes it feel ten times as fast!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    So far, very reliable. Only one problem with leaky oil seal. Major service found no faults.

    With bodykit, wheels and leather it definitely turns heads. Without it isn't quite mean enough.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Loads of room in the front. Seats OK. Bit tight in the back. Air-con is nice in summer.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    Has an immobiliser. Could maybe do with more.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Dealer was not the greatest. Servicing from manufacturer is very good so far.
