the only one i've had a bash in was a 2.0 boggo model and it wasn't bad to drive, certainley not "fun" or "exciting", would be alright as a daily driver. not very quick either imo

i test drove a couple with the yamaha beams engine and found them quite slow to tell you the truth and you really had to rev the bollox out of them to get anywhere with them.

Easy as pi to drive, quieter than a mouse, fooking comfortable, put it in 4th gear and drive anywhere. Spot on as a daily driver if a little thirsty.

i got one and its great, mines a sports cross estate and tbh i like the fact its rareish.
the 6spd box is good and they cruise so well,they are not stressed out so they make for a comfortable sporty drive.
