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

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Do not know where else to buy this level of go, with open roof, for the money.

    Costs

    Any O.E.M. parts can be pricey, but probably no worse than other Japanese manufacturers

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    To be respected in the wet, but rewarding when you get it right.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Mine is the Jap spec twin entry turbo model, 225 bhp and a reasonably flat torque curve. Very nice!

    Not everyone's cup of tea, but I prefer it to the new model.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    With 17"" alloys the ride is firm, but have done 200 miles without a break.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Aftermarket security needed. Easy for an amateur, (me), to slip a tool down frameless windows and open doors.

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Only purchased spares, had all servicing done independently
