    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Drives well but always felt a bit loose on tight turns. As the tracking geometry was out from new I now know why. Since being corrected the car drives superb.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Crisp responses from the engine which has been excellent.

    Getting rather too common nowdays and the age group is high. I thought this was a boy's toy but more the mature ladies' car nowdays.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    A bit cramped, feels like half a shoe size too tight.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    Very good service from the supplier who has unfortunately now gone out of business.

    Other

    Tracking geometry out from new which took 2 worn tyres to show it up. Disappointed the dealer didn't pick this up earlier as it definately affected the handling.
