-
Economy
Value
Not very good value for money as you don't get much unless you go for the top models.
Costs
Servicing costs are astronomical, £250 minor £450 major. Drinks like a fish e.g. not very economical.

Driving
Road handling is good, but 1998 CC engine is not so lively.
Performance
Reasonable but not as fast as you would expect from a supercharged 2.0 Litre.
