    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    16inch Alloys and Sports suspension make sure it stays on the road, Bone shattering on rough roads though.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very good for a car of it's size, 35mph in first and just as fast as the Calibra I traded for it. Its beat a Land Rover Sport off at the lights and a Saab td 150. I'm not a boy racer, just wanted to "test it".

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Only problem I have had is the cd player is very temperamental, It decides what CDs to play and when, Very slight Coolant leak.
