Astonishing. Quite simply.

About as you'd expect. £300 per rear tyre if you shop around. Fuel consumption incredibly good at 25mpg average.

On the road
Driving
A little testing in heavy traffic as a manual and SMG version would be a better option if regularly stuck in jams.
Performance
Staggering, never ending, completely addictive.

Living with it
Reliability
So far, no problems.
Image
Always gets admiring looks and lots of questions when parked.
Comfort
Seats are the best of any car I have ever been in. 19"" wheels make for slightly harder ride but very much manageable.

Security
No issues here so far.
Service
Dealership attitude has been very good.
