    3 out of 5 3.0

    A bit wallowy, but competent and sure-footed if you don't push it.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    If you want to zoom about, get a 2.9.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    No problems until the cam chain tensioner snapped at 80k miles. A well known fault apparently, and a £300 repair bill.
