DETAILED EDITORS' RATINGS

Dynamics

RATING

Really fun to drive. Very quick and nimble.

Comfort

RATING

Generous space for the driver, with a highly adjustable driving position. The rear seat is hard to access, though. Ride is generally good, but the "S" model might be too firm for some.

Function

RATING

Central speedo a bust, toggle switch panel and other features sacrifice function for style.

Design/Build Quality

RATING

Styling rules the day here. Material choices and build quality do not disappoint.
