    Don't really have enough experience of this at the time of writing.

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Really benefits from rear wheel drive and engine positioning. I actually think that the ability of the car outperforms my ability as a driver. However I do feel a tendency for the rear to step out and would not be surprised if it spun on me one day

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Is adequate particularly around 4000 plus revs.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    It's a sports car. I feel I'm well insulated from the road by what I think is a good suspension set up.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    I bought from main dealer and so paid a premium. I've had it back a couple of times always treated professionally and courteously.Horror story of one of mechanics using it as a toy and using my petrol and misaligning wheels
