  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Coolest sportscar for the money.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Expensive to maintain and age means it will require work.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Sticks to the road like s$%t to a blanket. High feel-good factor, comfy when cruising, great driving position and balance.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    190bhp, 140+mph, 0-60 6.9sec. Still looks good on paper - figures other manufacturers brag about even now. Feels pathetic when compared to 928 or 911.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Good for mileage and age.

    Image

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Still attaracts attention - somewhat dated, but has golden era 80's classic look.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Seats and very supportive in front - useless in the rear.
