    Fantastic fun - harrying those Beemers and Audis.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Brilliant when it gets going - takes ages to rev fully, though.

    Seen as a bit of a 'Grandad' car. Still some prestige, though.

    I've driven for 7 straight hours and never felt uncomfortable.

    I have slight complaint regarding level of sevicing with respect to price.
