Economy
Value
Excellent, bought one of the last ones made and got £5k knocked off by the dealer to shift it. Leather seats included as well.
Costs
Too new to tell, haven't had to buy anything for it yet.

On the road
Driving
Not bad, good solid feel but leans a bit in corners, probably because it is very narrow. Otherwise, it is predictable. Basic rear suspension is not as good as some rivals though.
Performance
OK, nice and torquey. Had it chipped which transformed not only the performance but also the general smoothness. Before, the turbo was a bit on or off, chip has removed that completely.

Nothing dropped off yet
Image
Classy, especially with leather and walnut dash. Blue instrument lights are pure class
Comfort
Pretty good, nice comfy seats, but large drivers watch out; the car is narrow inside, two big guys in the front would be rubbing shoulders!
