| Performance | | Fast, 0-60mph in under 8 seconds. Really well balanced, minimal body roll on cornering. |
| Design | | Design is well ahead of its time. Looks good in black. |
| Comfort | | Sport seats with lumbar support, climate control, external thermometer, electric mirrors. All very good for a 17 year old car. Endless legroom in the front, not so much in the back. Good storage space. |
| Safety | | No airbags. But it is fast, agile and responsive so it can be driven confidently. Good at overtaking long vehicles. |
| Reliability | | Very solid, starts every time. Automatic gearbox is clunky though and being a Japanese import would need the attention of a specialist. |
| Value | | Bought for £1175 but turned heads every day. Looks far more expensive than it is. |
| Running | | Thirsty 2.0-litre V6 and expensive to insure |
