    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not fantastic. Bought it a year ago with 110,000 miles, bad move.

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Really poor for a sports coupe. Not what you would expect. Does pick up at higher revs, but it sounds like your thrashing it. Try 3.0 V6.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Not overwhelming, possibly down to high miles.

    Looks the part but standard alloys aren't fantastic.

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Seats are comfy but left knee presses against dash whilst driving, irritates after a while. Boot space is generous.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Not been put to the test, however double locking with deadlocks does give confidence.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Had persistant problems that were not remedied. Friendly service.
