Good Points

Fantastic to drive - handles like a dream! Very firm suspension and positive 6 speed gear box. Very fast and gives an amazing buzz when driving it. When that Vtech kicks in at 6000rpm you really know about it.


Bad Points

Only seats 4 people - no middle seat belt in the back. Drivers' seat does not slide forwards when trying to get into the back of the car.


General Comments

We bought this car after being taken for a spin in our neighbours and we couldn't believe how crazily fast it was. After taking it for a test drive ourselves, we knew it had to be. It is a very comfortable drive given it's low, firm suspension, and handles very well through corners. The gear stick is mounted on the dash, which enables you to rapidly change when accelerating. The VTech kicks in at 6000rpm, as long as the engine is warm. The front seats are very comfortable - we drove around Europe in ours and there were no numb bums at all.
Can't wait to test drive the new model out next month... don't know how it can beat this model though.
