    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very solid. Slight under steer when cornering at speed.

    Slow away from a standing start. Holds its own with any similar petrol engine after this. plenty oomph thru 3/4/5th.

    I have had the car 4 years from new - I have 4 years no claim bonus from Direct Line for no call outs - speaks for itself I think
