Excellent ride little hard round town but a motorway mile eater!

Although the car feels extremely quick with all that torque you have to quick shift it, i find sometimes if i miss the change i loose a race!

Living with it
Reliability
No problems at all, left at gatwick for 14 days starts first time, only been to the dealer once for the famous back seat rattle fixed with a littke grease
Image
What a car, turns heads and looks stunning in flash red. Body kit and 17"" alloys as standard and the white dials inside set the dash off a treat
Comfort
Seats are very huggy, why you need the option of leather recaro seats with these i don't know. Controls are in easy reach and logical
