Agree with the first score.

Really, really hope you're wrong with the second.

OT. How many people think we are very lucky to have Kimbers34 on here to answer questions and post pictures. Many thanks Kimbers.

I am absolutely astonished at the apparent size of those rear seats. and there's a V6 in there somewhere...just amazing. Whoever worked out packaging that deserves some special bloody praise......engineering excellence indeed.

Agree, Kimbers many thanks for your input and knowledge, great to see the brand is in your blood too.

ETA score:

8.5

(reference; an Elise would score a 9+ and I would say its the benchmark small sportscar of the last 20 years)

If it wasn't for the audi-esque dash panel I'd say 9.5. But it's 8.something instead...

And 280bhp seems a bit meagre...
