    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    If cost is an issue, use a specialist - there are several around, especially in the South-East. However, if you can't afford to keep it well maintained, please don't buy!

    Performance

    Stunning. Only the Turbo is better! 4wd traction and roadholding is unbelievable.

    If you've got one you'll love it. If you haven't you'll hate those who have. Live with the attitude of other motorists - many are just jealous enthusiasts.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Surprisingly supple for the performance you get.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    You get an immobiliser on UK models. Won't stop a low-loader pulling up and removing it from the roadside, but then that's what you pay all that insurance for, I suppose.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Costs, but well worth the premium, especially at trade-up time.
