Drove it the bendy, poorly surfaced way home and I have to say it's surprisingly capable. Still slow compared with the 325 but the ride and steering don't go to pieces over broken tarmac and mid-bend bumps.
And the automatic box with its clicky, snappy, far-from-flappy paddles is just brilliant. Reminds me how much I liked that little coupé.
Still can't work out what it's for, though, with so little space inside. A numerous, sporty but short-legged family, perhaps.
