Quick review

The good
Superb fun, great performance, direct handling, comfortable, excellent build quality
The bad
As pokey in the back and boot as ever, odd engine note, confusing dash
Verdict
Quite simply brilliant. The only possible reason for not buying one if you¹re in the market for a fast and fun thrasharound is its boot/rear passenger space or the fact you have the IQ of roadkill
