  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Great. good to potter in, although you can get caught out when pulling away in high gear due to low torque, wind the engine up (above 6,000) and it feels genuine supercar at times (over 100bhp per litre) !!

    What's it like to park?

    can be tricky at times due to poorish rear visability and long nose, not too bad once used to dimensions though.
