    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    More expensive than a Subaru - but far better. Nothing goes as well for the price.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Bad for insurance, tyres, fuel and it needs a service every 4500miles. Just be prepared!

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    You won't believe it untill you try it, inspires so much confidence (probably too much).

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    I am sure you know the performace figures. Suffice to say you never get tired of it.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    I have had problems with the tracking, that's sorted now, a wheel bearing went (covered under warranty), nothing else to mention.

    Not the most sophisticated - great if you were a 16 year old girl, as all the school boys stare. Its best to wear shades to avoid any eye contact.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Ride is very harsh and clonky (price of the handling) but seats are superb.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Make sure it has the full kit - I have had no problems, but I have tried to avoid leaving it anywhere there could be one.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    You need an authorised Ralliart dealer to 'officially' service it, who are of course fairly pricy.
