    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    You won't get a better performance/ride/handling package for the money.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Most of these cars are over 11 years old so expect additional maintenance cost. Servicing cheap.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Driving position is OK, and gearshift suprisingly positive, but notchy (they're like that) PAS is nicely weighted and not over assisted, plenty of steering feel. Corners as if on rails. supple ride for a performance car. great turn-in.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    They're not that fast, but nicely balanced.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    If it's looked after, it won't go wrong. Some small electric/trim niggles though.

    Turns heads from those who know what it is and those who dont...(usually after they have been over-taken).

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very comfortable and supportive seats on Goodwood. Long distances good. Air con optional.
