    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Brilliant. I compare every other car I drive to it and haven't found a better one yet.

    Performance

    1 out of 5 1.0

    great round town. Nothing has kept with me yet, but looses out to the modern 'hot' hatches (Civic Type R etc.) in a straight line.

    A bit 80s, but I'm inside with a big grin on my face, I don't have to look at it.

    Comfort

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Seats a comfy for cruising (although with the engine behind you head it's a bit noisy) and keep you pinned when your not.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Not much as standard. I've added an after-market system (cut the insurance down big time).

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Can't comment - I've never been near.
