Advantages: Performance, Comfort, Price Disadvantages: Rear Parking - you need park sensors!

I was sceptical about purchasing one because the performance figures suggest it is a bit of a slouch but in reality, coupled with the manual 6 speed gearbox, performance is lively and more than you might expect.
