  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What else can you get for the money? This has the same inards as the Audi TT, but it's half the price!

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Uses petrol (30mpg) and insurance will be expensive for inexeperienced or other 'high risk' drivers.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    A pleasure to drive. The weak link for me is the gearbox - compared to the speed of everything else, moving between the gears seems to take too long.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    It's not a Ferrari, but with 180 BHP it'll beat most things.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Only had it six months. Only problem so far has been an occassionally sticking button on the dash.

    Image

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Looks the business, in an understated way - perfect for sneaking up on people!

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Comfortable up front, but rear is cramped. Sporty suspension may not suit some people, but is fine until you hit a pothole.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0
