Scott Collie
Contributor
Scott Collie drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Fearsomely fast on road and track
- Extra wagon practicality
- Still comfortable enough to use as a family car
Misses
- Options get expensive, fast
- Aggressive looks still aren't to all tastes
- We've had to wait so long!
