    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    German sports car for new Fiesta money.

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Don't buy this car thinking it will be cheap, garage and fuel bills will be high. Live with it.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very good driver involvement. Lovely cornering and great flat out on the straights.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Perhaps not as quick now as some German coupes but still holds its own amongst the hot hatches. Quick enough.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not the best, fuel pump went within two weeks of owning it. Make sure belts are OK.

    Draws stares at carparks even now. Less common than a Boxter. Soon to be a classic.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Very comfortable even on long journeys, seats excellent and supportive. Rear seats (forget about it).

  • Security and Service

    Standard Porsche immobiliser fitted.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Specialist garages are enthusiasts who want to fix your car not rip you off. (it costs but ownership is unlike any run of the mill car).
