    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Safe, but can undertsteer. Needs stiffer suspension on basic car.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Excellent for the size/weight of the car. Would always like more though!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    No problems at all on a 97k-mile car that's only 3.5 years old.

    Well, pipe and slippers really but the coupe does look mean with spoiler + skirts.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    The seats are better than in any car I've driven. The ride can be a bit bouncy, especially on British roads (why do we pay road tax again?)

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    You might be able to gain entry to the car, but just try driving it away!

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very good, but you are paying for it!
