  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Fantastic. 3700 rev's plus is when it all happens and it sounds incredible, the handling is the best i've experienced. On the downside, the suspension is firm and everything rattles.

    What's it like to park?

    Turning circle is a joke, the spoiler gets in the way and it seems to get door dinks from every inconsiderate car park user.

    Nothing major as yet...

    What's most practical about your car?

    The amount of space it has in its boot (rear seats fold down fully).

    I suppose the 6 disc CD changer and the remote boot opener.
