    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Buy one 3 or 4 years old and nothing compares for the money.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    The GTV is more exclusive and offers a vastly superior driving experience than the Audi TT, yet is about £7k cheaper 2nd hand. So until it's cost me £7k I won't feel out of pocket, and that's not going to happen since I bought a 2 year warranty for £600.

    Oozes Italian class. Gorgeous.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Feels very luxurious inside. Ride is stiff but it's supposed to be - if you want true comfort buy a repmobile.

    Alarm doesn't have a tilt sensor, but never heard of one being stolen.
