Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good value for money. What else could you get that is the same size, age and performance?

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Costs aren't too bad. Fuel is OK, but depends how you drive it.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very good to drive. Goes round corners well with little or no bodyroll.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Quick for a 1.8, but I wish there was a model somewhere between the 1.8 and 2.5 petrols. Possibly should of offered the 1.8 turbo they use in the ZT with about 150bhp.

    Reliability

    No problems as yet.

    Image

    Like the look of the car, but compared with the face lifted version it is maybe looking a little dated.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Seats are comfortable, but ride can become harsh on poor roads. This is expected in any sporty car though.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    No problems as nothing has went wrong yet.
