Anthony Crawford
Senior Road Tester
Anthony Crawford drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Still looks hardcore, puts out loads of grunt
- One of the most engaging hot hatches
- Huge grip, deft handling
Misses
- No extra power for its final send-off, pricey
- Four-wheel steering may polarise
- Can get thirsty

Misses
- Exhaust note is still uninspiring at 5000rpm
- Storage space in the cabin is tight
- Infotainment hardware is almost a decade old
