Brilliant drive, always a pleasure to get behind the wheel.

Handles like a dream with plenty of power so I am always looking for twisty roads. Strictly a two seater so there is no room for unnecessary weight. The boot is small but this is a fun sports car. If you want to carry lots of extraneous gear, choose something else.

We regularly travel with the top down. It's so easy and quick to lower and raise. Even in winter you can go topless; just turn up the heater and turn on the heated seats. Rain is no problem so long as you stay above about 30 mph.

Consumption is fair - I've averaged 38.8 mpg over the last 10 months - mostly local work. It's not an out and out motorway car but I never chose it for that or expected it to be.

To summarise a great little car which is a pleasure to drive whenever the opportunity arrives!
