Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Not many cars you can get for $50,000 with this kind of performance and street cred.
Costs
Leasing mine so I don't pay a cent.

On the road
Driving
Drives like an absolute dream. Get the 17" wheels - they make a BIG difference in roadholding.
Performance
For a 4-cylinder engine, it's one of the revviest engines around and feels a lot quicker than it is, and it's pretty quick as it is...

Living with it
Reliability
Only had it for 1 month, but already had to take it to the dealer to sort out a problem with the EOBD sensor.
Image
Everyone looks at you - there's not many of them on the road in Australia and it looks MUCH more expensive than it is.
Comfort
Cabin is sumptuous, leather seats are very good, the ride is a bit harsh but I went for 17" wheels with 245/40 tyres so that probably has something to do with it.

Security and Service
Security
It hasn't been broken into yet... but I wish it had an alarm as well as an immobiliser.
Service
Surprisingly good - but it's only been a month and it's a lease vehicle...
