here is Fifth Gear's review verdict

Fifth Gear verdict

We like:
1. Striking and unusual looks
2. Excellent handling
3. ACC system offers good balance between sport and comfort modes


We don't like:
1. Boot is a little hard to get larger/heavier items in
2. Interior is a little too Golf-like
3. Nothing else

"HAH, look at ze vunderful car you von't get!"

They do that all the time in Canada. We had the BMW 1 series in 2004 (the hatchback.. I've seen a white one on the west coast.. there's a red one in Ontario). We've had the Mitsubishi i, the SX4 diesel and countless other cars for "testing"
