Performance, balanced handling, sharp looks, fine gearchange.
Punishing ride, fuel consumption, running costs.
More at home now on the road than rally stage, the Evolution X has finally grown up.
From our early acquaintance on a poorly surfaced track it's clear the new car improves over the old in terms of bump absorption, but was still prone to occasional crashing over lumps and sharp ridges.
Entry-level GS models come with 18-inch alloys, adaptive front bi-xenon lamps, Recaro sport seats, a multi-function steering wheel and Bluetooth hands-free. Upgrading to the GSR (£2,500) adds a hard-drive-based satnav and a 650 watt premium sound system.
