Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Cheap to buy, loads of performance for the money, but can cost the earth to run.
Costs
Very thirsty and lots of BIG bills.
-
On the road
Driving
High power, rear drive, auto-box - a handful in the dry, never mind when the going's slippery! Fantastic, but scary!
Performance
322 bhp, 0-60 in 6.7s... but it's the mid-range punch that really impresses.
-
Living with it
Reliability
So far, so good. Chews tyres though.
Image
Some think it old world. I love it.
Comfort
Rear legroom particularly wanting and tall drivers will find they touch the roof.

Security and Service
Service
Little to do with main dealer network - have used a good specialist to keep costs lower. Still pricey, but more palatable.
