On the road
Driving
The engine is hugely responsive, the real fun beginning at 6k revs. However, the six speed gearbox is something of a let down, being inordinately easy to slip it into the wrong gear.
Performance
Engine is quick and the chassis can handle the power. There is, however, some oversteer.

Living with it
Reliability
No major problems. However, at just 10 months old, the alternator belt has needed replacing and more importantly the paint work chips very easily on a car that does far less than average mileage.

Service
The sales service was appalling. I can't believe that such cowboys exist in a major dealer network. Even after-sales is poor and over-subscribed.
