    What's it like to drive?

    All round its a good drive feels solid put your foot down and it goes but does suffer with a bit of turbo lag if you are very low down the rev range if you come up to a roundabout slowly and you cant see if its clear and you best go for 1st gear if you pull away with no revs and put your foot down you get a slight delay then it goes like Sh** of a chromed shovel.
