I ran one for 3 years as a company car and it was great fun to drive, handled really well and was good on fuel and if I could get rid of my company car I have now I'd have another as a daily driver. They aren't that quick in a straight line and the power is limited in 1st which is annoying but you used to be able to buy a chip to remove that limiter.
The only problem I found was that mine liked to be driven hard and I went through 3 clutches and 3 gearboxes in 70k miles

I used to rip the plate off of the clutch

other than that it took a lot of abuse
