    Lacks acceleration for a 1.8 in lower gears a bit bulky around town but is first class in high gears. It loves ^^a^^ roads and motorways. Gear change is awful when starting from cold but is OK when warm.

    Performance

    I always deal with independant garages as main dealers are always poor.
