Just had a quick read.

They put it up against a Boxter, 350Z and Lotus Elise in the £15k bracket.

Don't think they made enough of it's warp-speed to be honest, as it is a good second quicker to 60 than the rest. Did raise the high travel on the accelerator, and also the uncertain chassis over bumps etc. Waxed lyrical about the interior.

As always, the basic premise is that Tuscan's are fun but will kill you!

Also mentioned the engine problems, and suggested an annual service bill of £1000?

Not a bad article, gorgeous pics, not sure if the car is owned by a PHer?
