    On paper they don't look good, but my mates with 'faster cars' always want to go out for a spin..?!

    I bought it because it's very rare. Never fails to turn heads. It's completely standard and looks great.

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Seating bearable, but have no creature comforts. Cabin reasonable in back, but that's not why you would buy this car.

    Immediately bought a Thatcham 1 alarm. Has been broken into, but that's my fault for leaving the stereo in the car.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good, but my dealer is extremely expensive.
