    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Does everything and more than what a car twice the price can struggle to do.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Thirsty but worth it. Parts/services are very expensive.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Sticks like glue to the road. Ride is a bit hard, but turning circle is poor! You could turn a bus in a smaller space.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Wow!! Power is very smooth and predictable, handling is superb fun...

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Failed AYC pump repaired under warranty with no grief. 'Could' have cost £2,000! without warranty.

    Wolf in sheep's clothing is an understatement. Extremely rare. Definite head turner to the point people will stop and stare. There is an owners club for these cars.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Recaro seats are very snug and stop you flying around the cabin, but can be a little harsh on long journeys. Air con etc and plenty of room.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    It works. Additional security gadgets won't go amiss.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Failed AYC pump repaired without question - very helpful.
