Economy
Value
Considering it's pace and equipment as a second hand buy, it is very good value. Don't buy brand new though!
Costs
Again for a car of this speed, very good. 44mpg on the motorway at 70mph!

Driving
Very enjoyable to drive, surprising how easy it is to chuck about, given its weight and size. The ESP is perfect, only cutting in when you have gone too far.
Performance
Strange one this, the car is so smooth and quiet you do not realise just how fast it is. The pick up in top gear at motorway speeds always raised a smile. Overtaking on A and B roads is no problem! Blistering pace at 30-50 and 50-70 speeds.

Living with it
Reliability
Perfect, everything works, nothing has ever gone wrong (apart from consumables).
Image
Very stylish and that little bit different. Not as balanced as the Audi A4 however, still a bit angular.
Comfort
Perfect.

Security and Service
Security
Top class. Deadlocks, alarm, immobiliser and lockable gear shift.
Service
Very helpful and friendly. Servicing is suprisingly affordable given the cars performance.
