    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!
