Very smooth, involving drive, good round corners, leather steering whell feels chunky. Let down by annoying dash rattles.

Seems ok.

Looks good, you cant tell it apart from an SRI except for badges. Shame about the chav, boy racer image though.

Good seats, nice position, good visibility even with 3 rear head restraints. Difficult on motrways though as accelerator foot starts to ache when trying to maintain constant speed.
