If a car looked sensational, had beneath its bonnet one of the most stirring engines in production today and pampered its occupants with probably the best cabin of any sub-£100,000 car, how sizeable a shortcoming would you be prepared to overlook? I think you’d forgive that car its unnecessarily fiddly infotainment interface and even its hopeless rear seats. But would you willingly disregard the fact that car had a major identity crisis? Perhaps you would, but I don’t think I can.
