A great car to drive, provided you don't want to use it on the motorways where it can be noisy and lacking in acceleration. In town it has plenty of go and is a doddle to park, but where it really lives are the back lanes: the driving position, dash-mounted shift and wall of torque are so much fun. It is cheap to run: £35 tax, group 2 insurance and returning 63mpg, averaged over 20,000 miles. The dealer has been almost faultless but I'm on my third turbo and second gearbox in two years/20,000 miles.
