On the road
Driving
Precise and responsive steering, great stiffer suspension.

Living with it
Reliability
Never a problem. Starts EVERY time.
Image
Beautiful, yet extremely subtle. No one has a clue what's under the bonnet!

Great seats - hug you round even the tightest of corners. Massive doors on 3dr.
