Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Amazingly precise. Snarling but very smooth 3.2 litre engine best in the upper rev range and really pulls from 5000rpm. Torque of 228lb/ft sounds a bit weak but after having bought the car it feels more than adequate. Much quicker than a DC2 Integra that I owned some years ago. Quicker than an original Subaru Impreza Turbo (I own an estate). Steering and body control give so much confidence when cornering.
What's it like to park?
Better with the convertible hood lowered...
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Suspension bushes, tracking needs to be checked regularly.
What's most practical about your car?
Surprisingly large boots front and rear. Easily enough for weekly shopping.
