Six-speed - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER is smooth and intuitive. Ride & Handling: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Very taut chassis and M - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER suspension emphasises sporting intentions, but ride can be harsh over bumps. Fuel Economy: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() An indicated 22mpg isn't bad, but it isn't exactly frugal. Tactility: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Interior surfaces benefit from high grade materials; upgraded - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER switchgear more premium.

Equipment & Value for Money: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() £30,300 is certainly not cheap, but all the expensive options are standard kit. - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER Source = The Car Enthusiast |
