On the road
Driving
Fine combination of sporty handling with a fantastic ride in all conditions.
Performance
Exuberant performance above 4500 rpm. Lovely twin cam snarl approaching the red line. Six gears allow you to keep up with more modern opposition such as the Clio 172.

Living with it
Reliability
Cambelt notorious for snapping above 40,000 miles and needs regular servicing. My example has been reliable.
Image
Wolf in sheep's clothes. Elegant but anonymous.
Comfort
Good quality ride and all the equipment one needs. 6th gear helps motorway refinement.
