    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Thus far, has cost nothing and sips fuel like a moped.

  • On the road

    Driving

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Well... it's a bus, but it's an extremely quick, comfortable and well equiped bus. Not built for the windy stuff, though.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    More than quick enough to provoke my wife to tell me to slow down (and the kids to do the opposite).

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    Too early to tell.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    With the tinted windows all round, it looks and feels like a crew bus for a girl band. Very stylish in the primary school car park.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Designed by relaxed Frenchies to relax Frenchies. I intend sleeping in it at Glastonbury this year.

    4 out of 5 4.0
