Economy
Value
Great value, especially against other GTis. 143 BHP compares favourably in its class.
Costs
Good but group 14 insurance a bit steep.

Driving
Very nimble, excellent cornering and steering. The gearbox is smoother than reviews have suggested.
Performance
Typical Japanese engine comes alive above 4000 rpm and likes being worked hard.

Reliability
A faulty alarm sensor was replaced under warranty.

Seating position not quite so good over long motorway journeys.
