    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    It's worth owning just to see the faces of some so called hot hatch drivers when grandads car blows them off the light's

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Amazing for the price fast as you like yet refined if you need it. Corners are a bit wishy washy until you learn the car sticks to the tarmac. Could do with better traction control very scary in the wet if you accelerate too quickly!!!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Tends to eat front tyres Michelins seem to last better than the standard tyres. Short journeys on a regular basis tends to kill the exhaust system with the water build up. Air Con no one has got mine working yet in the last 2 years!!!!
