    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Bought the car from an importer at a big discount. Should hold its value well.

    Costs

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Insurance, fuel and road tax are all cheap. This is a really cheap car to run and look at the performance.

    Enormous torque makes driving great fun. Slight problems putting the power down in the wet or damp and the traction control doesn't control it.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Smoother than a 150 and chips up to 170 with no loss of economy. That makes it serious fun and I'm assured by a specialist fitter that it won't reduce the engine life noticably.
