Thread it into a sweeping 50mph corner and it hangs on hard, not turning in rampantly but with balanced assurance. Leave it in third gear and with the electronics active and you will have great stability and precision, unflappable composure and massive traction on exit. Or, if you prefer, try the same bend again at higher revs in second with the stability control dialled back.

Close The balance of performance and efficiency is impressive, and the ride and handling is competent, but don’t expect too much in the way of excitement. If you’re looking for a dynamic edge – and a bit more oomph – then we’d direct you towards the vRS variants. Pleasingly, you have a choice of petrol and diesel, but while the oil-burner has plenty of torque and 181bhp, we’d select the 217bhp 2.0-litre turbo petrol for the true sporty experience.

When not seeking ultimate precision, the steering is intuitive enough, and while the Z4’s handling lacks throttle-adjustability, the natural feel of rear-wheel drive does give it an edge over the now-departed Audi TT without ever feeling like a handful for the less experienced driver. It all adds up to a platform that lets you enjoy the outstanding powertrain and the freedom of open-top motoring once you accept that they, and not the chassis, are the main attraction.

But instead of giving the car good close body control and the pleasing sense of energy and poise at speed of something like a Ford Puma, the Vauxhall’s particular suspension tuning often just makes it feel reactive and tetchy when roused and leads it nowhere.
