I ran one of these for a couple of years a few years back, doing nearly 30k was a great car, only went wrong once when thermostat housing failed, common problem though,
Bought it standard and put a few nice performance upgrades, was rubbish handling standard though, put coilovers on it and new bushes totally transformed the handling,
was an awesome sounding car with a ramair filter on it though,
if you can put up with the fuel consumption go for it, heres a few pics of my old one
