  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    When it all works and has new tyres its a dream, then the tyres wear and it gets noisy and jumpy/wonders even when tracking is perfect. It gets so bad I end up replacing tyres every 10-12k miles and at up to £250 each its not cheap.
