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

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Fast and practical with 0-60 in 6 sec for £21k.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Servicing is quite pricey. Insurance is too. Goes through petrol although better than an Evo. Averaged 25mpg.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Enormous amounts of grip, great acceleration, terrific fun. Braking assistance can rescue you from trouble.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Faster than just about everything else under £20k. Faster cars rarely get far away on normal roads.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    2 very minor problems in 3.5 years. (A slightly misaligned window seal and the light doesn't come on for one of the doors).

    A head turner. Wave at other Scooby drivers.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Suspension a bit hard for some, although I never minded. Driver's seat comfortable. Foot rest pedal next to clutch is great.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not an expert on security, although supposed to be pretty good.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Excellent - although the true test would have been if I'd had a major problem.
