  • Economy

    Value

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Expensive to buy even second hand - you pay for a completely undeserved image.

    Costs

    1 out of 5 1.0

    You get 14.9 mpg round town (No one tells you this). Parts and serving are insanely expensive.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Hard, bobbling ride - not smooth like a fast executive car. Just not good.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    It is very fast.

    It's very poor because it's essentially a lie.

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    The much vaunted stereo looks like a wall of binatone and is awful (it has a sound-stage at about ankle height so unless you're a garden gnome or drive with your head between your knees it sounds terrible. OK otherwise
