CarExpert's Take
James Wong
Production Editor
James Wong drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Monstrous performance
- Surprisingly comfortable in normal driving
- Has more than enough space for three kids and your dog
Misses
- Wagon costs more than Coupe spec-for-spec
- You'll never realise its potential on Australian roads
- Steering can feel a little lifeless even in its sportiest setting
