Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very easy to drive, once the suspension is sorted by Abbott racing, otherwise dangerous as hell.... very fast and torquey engine, great driving position.

Very easy, but dont find it a problem to park any car!!!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes, its seems like everything. They dont seem to be as well made as everyone suggests, probably because of the Vauxhall connection. Oh and it costs a small fortune to get anything repaired, even going through an independent garage.
What's most practical about your car?
The boot is enormous, nobody can believe what it can take. Two sets of golf clubs and two electric trolleys and there is still space... amazing!!!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The seats are fantastic, electric and heated and the turbo's power of course.
