  • Driving it

    3 out of 5 3.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Too much sound and fury for my liking out of the supercharger. Prefer the relative quiet of a turbo. Sticks to the road very well, but the ride will have your fillings out.

    What's it like to park?

    Easy. The beeping when you reverse is irritating though, although you need it as reverse is too close to 1st.
