On the road
Driving
Not quite a sports car, but wants to be. High driving position, neatly arranged equipment except for rear screen de-mist switch which is down by your left knee and hazards switch which is hidden by the steering wheel.
Performance
Loves the motorway, but grunts through traffic. Skittish when pulling away on ice or rain. Gear box can be rattly (worn engine and gear box mountings a common - though easily fixed - fault). Fuel consumption good if driven consevatively.

Living with it
Reliability
No prblems so far.
Image
Nice looking in a crouching ready to pounce way.
Comfort
Not for tall people, I'm 5'' 7"" and my hair brushes the roof. Full leather trim a nice feature, as well as a/ c and 6 cd changer.
