    30mpg driven hard, parts not too expensive.

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Beautiful steering, just feels perfectly balanced. Oversteer slides can be provoked. Much better than 90s MR2.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    The original V-tech engine loves to be revved - beats 80s hot hatch rivals.
