I had this decision and my choice is obvious. I have owned the car for just over a year now and have done over 10,000miles. The only failure, which caused some problems finding was a temprimental crank pos sensor (£28). The car has also done a trip to the ring and a track day at bedford.

Buy a well looked after one and you'll be fine.

I've done some handling mods too which make it awesome to drive
