Overall reliability

Follows in the footsteps of its forbears.

Performance is great along with superb handling. OK the suspension is harsh and its travel limited which can catch you out on less than perfect B roads. Nevertheless this is, and intended to be a fun car which is what it is all about.

Economy, if you worry about such things is more than acceptable for this level of performance, and despite its small dimensions it is quite practical for use on a day to day basis.

With the rear seats folded I have had 4 large suitcases and some small bags stowed in the available space.

As a device for going from A to B in quick time, its takes some beating
