    Servicing seems a little steep, probably average for a car of this class

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Performance and handling don't live up to the 'sporty' extras on the SR. Really just a large family saloon.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Seems a little sluggish for a two litre. Body roll uncomfortable.

    Looks good with the Momo alloys and sports grille, although I could live without the spoiler.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I am 6' 6" which was the main reason I went for the SR (no sun roof). Roomy interior and very useful boot.
