I had a 16v, the heater matrix popped after id had it for about an hour. Was proper giving it some abuse and then steam started coming into the car and the floor was soaking lol. Apparantly a common fault and it should have been racalled and had newer type of matrx fitted, which it hadnt been.
I ended up just putting a bit of pipe in to take the heat marix out of circualtion to get me by.
Was quite surprised how quick it was. Handled well aswell even though it was quite boaty.
Had it about a 2 weeks in total before it was in an accident.
