On the road
Driving
Not fantastic. Bought it a year ago with 110,000 miles, bad move.
Performance
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
Not overwhelming, possibly down to high miles.
Image
Looks the part but standard alloys aren't fantastic.
Comfort
Seats are comfy but left knee presses against dash whilst driving, irritates after a while. Boot space is generous.

Security and Service
Security
Not been put to the test, however double locking with deadlocks does give confidence.
Service
Had persistant problems that were not remedied. Friendly service.
