On the road
Driving
Excellent grip, poised, good cornering. Trust me...
Performance
Nippy. Feels slow when you've had it a year. 0-60 in 11.5 seconds and 120+ mph. Timed and tested.

Living with it
Reliability
In the garage more than out. Unlucky I guess!
Image
With big alloys and tinted windows, it looks cool and classy. Avoid bodykitted cars like the plague.
Comfort
Superb. You can be doing top speed and hold on with 1 finger. Smooth. Gorgeous body-hugging seats.

It's got an alarm, but not much else.
