Shopping car below 4,000 rpm, after that it starts eating tyres and torque steering towards hedges. A bit firm for road use, it rattles and squeaks a bit too much and the seats and driving position are rubbish. Good fun to drive on track and reasonably quick too. I bought it as a dual purpose cheap shopping car and track thrash mobile - sold it in the end because it wasn't ideal for either purpose, but it was about as good a compromise as I can think of.

The perfect hot hatch. The engine is incredibly strong between 4-7000 rpm and faultlessly reliable. The handling is impressive for a FWD with a very keen turn in. Can keep up with standard Elises and lower powered Caterhams - just - such is it's tenacious grip. Equally as home on or off the circuit this is a perfect track day car for someone who needs reliability and practicality with their thrills.
