On the road
Driving
Good overall. Brakes not up to much - get too hot too quick.
Performance
Quicker than most, but 172 Cup and big turbos blow it away. Keeps the boy racers and yuppies at bay!

Living with it
Reliability
Everything gets replaced if you drive it too hard. Engine fine, though.
Image
Still looks better than other new hot hatches and, when kept standard, doesn't shout boy racer.
Comfort
Bucket seats are tight and ride is hard, spot on.

Security
Needs extra than factory fitted.
Service
