Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Expensive to buy even second hand - you pay for a completely undeserved image.
Costs
You get 14.9 mpg round town (No one tells you this). Parts and serving are insanely expensive.

On the road
Driving
Hard, bobbling ride - not smooth like a fast executive car. Just not good.
Performance
It is very fast.
-
Living with it
Image
It's very poor because it's essentially a lie.
Comfort
The much vaunted stereo looks like a wall of binatone and is awful (it has a sound-stage at about ankle height so unless you're a garden gnome or drive with your head between your knees it sounds terrible. OK otherwise
