Driving
Excellent motorway cruiser due to the blend of power and ride. Rolls too much when cornering for a car of this power. Very wide B pillars obscure the view when pulling out to overtake.
Performance
After 2,800 RPM it goes like a rocket. It's looks hide this making it great for leaving more powerful looking cars behind.
