Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Excellent for the performance and running costs but the interior is built to a budget.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Too early to judge but its cheap to insure, tax and fill up.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    This experience is relative but it drives beautifully. Only 1,000 miles covered but very direct and secure. Lovely link between accelerator and performance.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Great, the first car in years to put a smile on my face. It just pulls and pulls almost any gear and any speed. There's a slight lull before 1500 rpm but after that, just watch the cars behind disappear.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Not had it long enough.

    Image

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Never been bothered with image, just what's under the bonnet

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Its firm but that's to be expected. The lack of body roll is good. The worst aspect of this car is the road noise from the tyres. It starts at about 20mph on all but the smoothest roads and can be loud. Doesn't get worse with speed though.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Should be good I hope.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Appear helpful but still to be tested.
