Amazing handling car, well balanced, good turn in with nice mid corner adjustability. Breaks will pull your face off. Pedals perfect for heal toe.
Performance
Nothing short of an evo or a 911 Carrera 4 will catch you, the car is easy to drive fast.

The never break down but have their quirks never serious though.
Image
Image is poor, its loud, brash, menacing and general driven about loony fashion.
Comfort
Brutal across all but the best roads but you'll thank it when your pressing on. Clunky bushings noisy tyres, gearbox whines, engine noise is soothing though.

Security excellent, alarm, deadlocks, tracker. mines been vandalised twice and the badges stolen. I live in a small quiet costal town with low crime!
Service
