    4 out of 5 4.0

    Attracts look, in standard form, add some skirts and bumper spoiler for best image without going over the top.

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Seating and driving position are great, but the ride is rather hard, but great on the corners.

  • Problems and Ownership

    Problems

    Engine

    None, keep the oil changed every 5000m and you'll be in for a good life with 2.0i 16v.

    Other

    Rad springs seem to wear quick, resulting in breaking, cheap enough, I added lowering springs which were uprated, since no problems.
