Driving
Great performance, real pleasure to drive, i look forward to any journeys. A true wolf in sheeps clothing. Handles well with the anti roll suspension.
Performance
The twin cam variable valve timing is a star engine. 0=60 in 7.5 and excellent fun. Revs high so at high speeds slightly noisy. Out strips any other small hot hatches.

Reliability
No problems as yet, but make sure the timing belt is changed at the reccommend interval if in doubt get another fitted as could cost the same as the car to repair!
