criticism
In a two-part test in the third episode of the 21st season of the British car show Top Gear , the poor workmanship was criticized: After the rear brakes caused significant problems during the first test and then the clutch failed and condensation appeared in all headlights, a second test date agreed. In this case, the test vehicle caught fire after a defect in the engine cooling system. The restored vehicle was driven by The Stig on the test track and achieved a worse lap time on a wet track than a BMW M5 under comparable conditions. Jeremy Clarkson described the car as "as racy as the danish prime minister" .
A second point of criticism related to the drivability with the two more powerful driving programs "Sport" and "Race": Since there is no supportive ESP here, drivability in these two high performance levels was classified as poor.
