  • Living with it

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Tyres don't last long- rears or fronts.They are twice as wide as a normal tyre which means you are twice as likely to puncture one and they cost +£450 each from am main dealer. Sat Nav is utterly useless. You can only enter the 1st 4 digits of a post code. You have to enter letters one at a time to spell out street names, whilst waiting for the DVD disk to spin each time you select a new letter. Paddle shift completely unecesary as the engine has so much torque you cant tell the difference between 3rd or 6th anyway.. better in full auto.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Boot space is massive, MPG is very high for a car that is nearly 300bhp. I averegare 37 mpg.
