Hi Sam! Point of view of orthodox engineer.1 design.Outstanding.Nothing like it.2 performance BMW SPORT suspension,BMW drive train,alu. fame.From other side-tremendous potential to modification-improvement.Combination of GERMAN engineering and British styling. This car catching your imagination,and attract you ,to the point you cannot resist.You must have some level of I.Q.,appreciation of beauty,and life experience to understand it.You cannot rationalise it.It would not fit in a "frame"of practicality,chip to run,family car,or show off.It is special interest,or FUN (well sort of it).
