    Excellent value for a rally bred car.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Munches on tyres and guzzles fuel if you've a heavy foot. If something does go wrong, its expensive.

    Driving

    Smooth and quiet. Gearbox changes can be a bit harsh.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Blinding for the age, but you have to watch out for newer models. Traction is amazing.

    Excellent Toyota

    Image

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very eye catching. Bonnet vents give it an impressive image but I'm not so sure about the front ""bubble"" wheel arches.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Long journeys are a breeze, as long as you're in the front. Back passengers will be lucky to travel more than 20 miles without suffering spinal damage.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I got a CAT1 fitted within a week of buying it. Staying with stock security is a very bad idea.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Good customer service but they don't really know the Carlos Sainz. They will fob the cost of learning onto you.
