Economy
Value
Excellent, when the salesman told me how much it cost, I seriously thought he'd got it wrong, thought I'd better buy it before he checked the price!
Costs
Insurance a pleasant surprise as it was only a few quid more than my cherokee jeep. Fuel consumption is not actually bad when you consider how fast it goes.getting about 25mpg from mine. Not putting very much oil in either

On the road
Driving
Very smooth, electric power steering very revise, feels more like you aim it than steer it. superb fun.
Performance
Taking a friend for a spin he commented. I think you'd better get a road angel, mate... electrifying!

Living with it
Reliability
Seems fine, had a bit of a problem with the radio display, but dealer fixed it pronto
Image
Looks fab, still smile every time I see another one, and I've had mine 6 months now
Comfort
Low profile tyres and pretty stiff suspension make the ride a bit hard at times, but seats are nicely enveloping and cabin is delightfully techy to be in.
