Driving
Fantastic! So much fun to drive! Grips the road just like the original and for a small car you feel so safe and secure even at high speeds, the 16" alloys and traction control were worth the money!
Performance
Very Good, when driven properly it really flys book says 0-60 in 9.2 but reckon you can do in about 8-8.5.

Reliability
Should be excellent due to BMW build.

Shy people stay clear! You wont cope with all the attention! wherever you go people look, point, wave etc even had one person tap on the windscreen while I was parked to comment on it!

with the Chilli pack you get the half leather sports seats which make a real difference, and only improve the already fantastic driving experience!
