Magazine editor-in-chief David Johns claimed the people testing the model had high expectations and the motor still managed to impress.
He praised the car's "beautifully weighted controls" and "nimble chassis".
Mr Johns stated: "The sleek exterior makes many rivals look dated, while the cutting-edge cabin is as distinctive as it is attractive."
