Mate had one, nippy enough I think remember something about checking the cooling fans work as fan switches are prone to failure may be wrong.
Never had any problems with his although handling was not the best.
Sure it's from 2000 onward (Facelift) that had +10HP (100HP) opposed to 90HP which earlier models had, there as fast if not faster and better equipped IMO (Discs all round) compared to the equivalent Zetec S.
