    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Holds its value. Pure quality.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Expensive to buy, but you won't be disappointed.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Handles very well, as good in real terms as my old 306 XSi as it is much safer and predictable.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Off the mark in around 8 seconds, but in-gear performance is shattering; blows any normal petrol car with less than 170bhp under the bonnet away.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0
