Ive owned a phase 2 for a year.

I did enjoy it and got the most looks in it ever (it was rare liquid yellow)

Cambelt is a big job on them and so is the clutch (engine out ) so look out for it allready being done?
Yes the car is twitchy but yes its a very short wheelbase and shit steering lock, what you have to remember is the engine is in the back so there isnt any weight on the front so its tends to bob on the front. If youve ever driven a porsche is a similar feeling. So what it does mean is you have to change your driving style if you wana go fast. Down the back roads a 172 would destroy it but as uve said it isnt power your botherd about.

They arnt any quicker to 60 than a 172 but past 80+ they keep pulling cos of the v6 power. I never had a problem with steaming/heat inside, it was a pleasure to drive and had a lovley v6 growel inside the cabin.

Id definitly have another. The boxes to tick are good investment/ stunning looks/ if you only need two seats.

negatives would be the steering lock/ not easy to tune up/
