Driving
One of the best handling front wheel drive cars I've driven. Inspires confidence and is a joy to drive quickly through twisty roads.
Performance
Engine is smooth and powerful enough to make driving interesting, but a bit more grunt would make it a real peach.

Reliability
No major problems: distorted brake discs, interior sensors setting off alarm and minor electrical faults.

Love the looks. Other people do too (the colour helps - Diablo Red).
Comfort
Fine. No quibbles, but shame about the lack of headroom under the sunroof.
