    Has the feeling of a sportscar, but also offers comfort and gives an enjoyable and relaxing drive.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Drives very comfortably in 5th gear and is easy to handle. The performance is good, never really giving you the feel that you're in a top sports model, but enough to give you that edge when needed.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    The car looks good, it's different and not commonly seen depending on your locality. More dealaships down south, but the robust look with the menacing front and smooth design makes it a quality looking motor, great in titaniun.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Has a hard suspension, but that is expected. Plenty of room for front and back passengers and gives plenty of room if the back chairs are folded down.
