Good Points

Price when compared to a 3 series BMW. They really aren't worth the extra.
Acceleration is nice for such a heavy car.
Gear changed when revved can make clumsily driven faster cars look average.


Bad Points

The leather seats are uncomfortable on long drives.
The car does have infrequent bad stalling problems that the dealer cannot fix.
The trim wears too quickly.
Front tyres last 20K at most.
Paintwork chips too easily.
Useless at roundabouts. You never know what gear you're in, or if you're in neutral. Dump it at a roundabout, revs up, doesn't move, changes gear for you, lurches forward. You nearly end up wrapped around the car you were trying to nip in front.


General Comments

It was fantastic when I first bought it, but the novelty has worn off. I've had it just over a year.
When I can afford to change it, I will.
I'll probably get a Honda S2000 or Lotus Elise next.
