    It may not be best in class, but it isn't far off, and its such a laugh!

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Goes like a stabbed rat, feels much quicker than its quoted to be and just makes you smile, sounds good too.

    Nothing wrong with it, solid as a rock.

    Image

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Boy racer image, which is kind of cool in a way, but people think your a chav in it, turning up to a business meeting in it does raise some eye brows.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Much better than a Clio 182, seats are excellent and all the right toys but still a hothatch.
