Had mine from nearly new (8 yrs), done about 130k mls and have no intention in selling it for a while. Only repairs have been front wishbones (bushes wear), although my alternator is gettgin tyred now.
Brilliant family cars that are pokey enough for daily use. And now they are getting on a bit are an absolute bargin.

Secondarys open up around 3400rpm, and the motor should realy pick up at this point, if it feels flat from here onwards then there is a secondary issue.

MPG, average town driving 27
motorway 32

Would highly recommend these, my best change was grooved disks, braded brake lines, decent pads and fresh 5.1 brake fluid as i never thought the brakes were great from new.

K&N induction kit gives the V6 a fantastic soundtrack.

Even taken mine on track twice and had great fun.
