Editor's Opinion
17/20
Pros
  • Deluxe interior with high level of specification
  • Accessible performance from an engine that behaves like a bigger-capacity unit
  • Surprisingly quicker than expected on the track, and rock-solid on the road
Cons
  • Conservative ‘safe’ down-shifts that reduce its effectiveness when pushing hard
  • Subdued styling will not appeal to those wanting high ‘look at me’ factor
  • Three-year warranty is now behind the times
