    Pricey to buy and fix, but expect to pay for the badge and quality. Worth spending the extra over a VW from what I've seen.

    Very expensive to repair and upgrade. e.g 1 x new Xenon headlamp £350 + vat!

    A great drive. Having driven 2WD cars previuosly, this adds a whole new dimension. Corners superbly and holds power throughout.

    Performance

    Very quick once you have the turbo going. Will demolish most other cars in its calss. Watch 3 Series's + GTI's dissapear in the rear view mirror!
