    Not bad but devalues quick. I bought mine 1 year ago and has dropped two grand in price.

    Quite a nice drive, handles well.

    Not bad, quite nippy, but hasn't got the torque it should have for a sport.

    Looks quite neat, nice shape. Needs a spoiler being a sport though.

    Had no problems so far. Double lock on remote. Quite good.
