Driving
Good drive. Steering lifeless and standard suspension setup is abismal! Needs uprating!
Performance
Fastest car you can buy for the money. I had 164mph on the clock running 12psi.

Living with it
Reliability
Leave the boost standard. Trust me, you will only have problems if not.
Image
Looks a little dated, lowered on standard rims, with all the front grills meshed looks good.
Comfort
Good as standard. Mine's lowered and it's a little bumpy!

Security and Service
Security
Mine's delocked with an additional CAT2 immobiliser. Takes 10 secs to break in to!
Service
Not too bad for parts. Wouldn't go near them for mechanical work ££££s.
