Economy
Value
Compared to everything else in class, you get more and pay less.
Costs
Price of servicing is reasonable. No other costs but tyres so far and they're as expected for 18" wheels.

On the road
Driving
Big smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel. Great fun and fairly rare.
Performance
As standard, very good. With Revo, nothing much is going past you. Pretty good in the twisties with the ESP off as well.

Living with it
Reliability
Only had 7 months and no issues at all. Others have had minor niggles that have been covered by warranty.
Image
I think it looks fantastic from all angles from the big, low front splitter, the low skirts and 18" wheel and chunky oval exhaust.
Comfort
Comfortable on long motorway journeys and supportive on quick jaunts to the countryside.

Security and Service
Security
Only thing lacking is a tracker on this version.
Service
Not too keen to change a gear knob that flaked completely and a couple of dodgy service quotes until I checked up on the costs...
