Advantages: Looks, Power, Handling

Disadvantages: Fuel consumption

This car is the business. 0-60 in 8.4 secs with a top speed of 134mph. The looks means it turns heads wherever it goes. I bought the car nearly new but with only a couple of 1000 miles on the clock. The dealer had it as his own so had packed a lot of extra features in. It came with the sports body kit and larger alloys which gave it that extra look of seriousness when on the road.

The interior is well designed - the red backlighting at night give the car a classy feel. Digital climate control is a bonus with the weather changing so often here. The leather seats add that extra bit of comfort when driving distances.

On the downside is the low fuel efficiency when doing town running. However this is more than compensated for when cruising on the motorways. I have struggled at times to get the fuel tank to fill right up. The pumps always cut out and even if fuel spills out, the needle doesn't always go to the top.

Still, everyone who's seen the car has given it the thumbs up, especially for it's price.
