How it scores for you10 scores
Supercar pace from $55k with hatchback practicality, marred by well-documented wheel-cracking complaints and steep sports-car running costs.
Reliability76

Recalled somewhat less often than cars of the same model years; none of its 8 recalls were serious. About 1% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted -5 points for its wider reputation.

Safety50

Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.

Running costs7

About $3,850 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 7% of cars we track.

Cargo & utility80

15 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 80% of other coupes we track.

Passenger space25

Strict two-seater, though the 15 cu ft hatch is unusually practical for the breed.

Driving fun95

455-755 hp, superb balance, and track-ready variants; one of the best performance-per-dollar cars ever.

Tech50

Performance Data Recorder and decent MyLink, but cabin tech is otherwise ordinary.

Comfort45

Magnetic Ride makes it livable for a sports car, yet it remains loud and low.

Value retention55

Typical resale value for a coupe.

Capability0

No published tow rating; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
