    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Love the driving position. One of the best gearboxes I've used. Rear visibility with the window up not brilliant.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Good acceleration, great handling, corners on rails, a slightly bigger engine would be even better fun but I'm quibbling.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Japanese engineering at its best. A couple of dash rattles after 3 years and that's it.
