I love mine, bit guttless low down, and the power is nothing like a turbo, but that screamer of an engine is fun
Great cars, seats are fantastic, gear positioning is spot on.
I would say the only downsides are, they can be abit squeeky

steering when parking is a little pants and the turning circle

makes you look like a leaner driver doing a 5 point turn
BUT, so much car for the money, got mine for 7k and is a cracker, just got my little sister a black one for 7500 and it is MINT and I mean mint, not a single mark on the whole car, not even a stone chip and totally original
Not sure how others feel, but actually prefer the more savage looks of the pre facelift ones 2001 - 2003
