A stunning engine wrapped in a capable and involving chassis. It even returns reasonable fuel economy for the 265bhp, if you can keep off the loud pedal. It might not be the best looking hatchback, but it does look purposeful in the right colour and spec. The interior is well designed and made of nice stuff, but that's all just dressing - the engine is a jewel. A torque-laden, growling, revvy, characterful masterpiece.
