    Great handling. 6-speed box. It's a hoot!

    Performance

    Superb chassis could stand some more power but it's good enough.

    This special edition has unique Art Vin Rouge colour and a hood cover which matches the oatmeal leather - drool inducing!

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Leather seats offer good comfort, but I found the cabin a bit cramped. Love the wooden steering wheel and other special edition touches.
