Driving
Seats are poor, but handling is nimble. Off-set pedals take some getting used to.
Performance
Goes when pushed, but noisy at high revs.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Starts first time, although engine noisy when cold.
Image
Still looks good after 6 years.
Comfort
Poor seats have no support although plenty of leg room (I'm 6' 2" and the chair goes back loads more).
-
Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser, but locks look puny. Would recommend after market security. Radio cover is an exellent idea.
Service
Shocking. They don't seem to know what they're doing! Expect a wait at the parts department.
