    Sport suspension means it's better round corners, but it's no BMW.

    Mid-range overtaking and high end cruising very swift.

    Medium dull on looks, but wolf in sheep's clothing when you put your foot down.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Sports suspension compromises comfort for passengers - great for drivers.

    5 out of 5 5.0

    It's got the lot.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not the greatest - they re-tooled for 2003 half way through my waiting time, so it took 16 weeks to deliver. Excellent dealer service, though.
