I've had two, they are quite good fun, very different to drive from a normal 1.7 puma.

Not very fast which is a shame, and very low geared, awfull on the motorway due to low gearing and terrible suspension, which is good for track but useless on the road.

I took one of them on a track day with my integra type R and our Spec C Impreza so three very good cars together to compare. The Puma handles really well, stiff, roll free chassis, but needs an lsd for the slower corners, and not powerfull enough could cope with much more than 150.

Integra Type R was quicker round the track and better all round car.

Things to look out for

disks and callipers are expensive, noisy brakes = a rebuild soon
paintwork - the paint is terrible, was done by tickford, have seen them crazed/faded/easily stonechipped etc
alloys probably need a refurb get very corroded
