    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

    4 out of 5 4.0

    A little testing in heavy traffic as a manual and SMG version would be a better option if regularly stuck in jams.

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Staggering, never ending, completely addictive.

    Always gets admiring looks and lots of questions when parked.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Seats are the best of any car I have ever been in. 19"" wheels make for slightly harder ride but very much manageable.
