Standard seats with Alcantara centres give good comfort and lateral support for hard cornering. Optional fully electric sports seats adjust height, backrest, squab angle and depth. Adaptive sports seats add adjustable side bolsters. Heated seats and steering wheel are available, as is seat ventilation on standard or comfort seats. Air conditioning is standard. two-zone climate control is optional. The three-spoke sports steering wheel is leather-rimmed and adjustable for height and reach.

Premium unleaded fuel required.
Oil change every 10,000 miles or 1 year.
Major service at 40,000 miles intervals.
PSM stability management standard with brake assist.

The engines run on premium unleaded. Direct fuel injection on the S model helps cut consumption versus the prior generation while meeting Euro 5 standards. Combined figures sit around the low-to-mid 20s mpg depending on gearbox and model.
Oil and filter changes come every 10,000 miles or annually. Spark plugs and drive-belt checks fall at 40,000-mile or four-year marks. Brake fluid changes every two years. Transmission fluid service is longer-interval. Regular checks keep the mid-engine layout reliable for daily use.
Standard safety includes dual full-size front airbags that deploy in stages, POSIP with thorax bags in the seats and head bags in the doors, three-point belts with pretensioners, ABS, and PSM that pre-charges brakes and adds assist. The galvanised steel body and side-impact beams add structure. No published star ratings appear for this generation.
Two luggage areas total useful volume for a two-seater. Keep service history current and watch fluids and filters. The chassis stays composed on long drives when suspension and brakes receive timely attention.
