I've had one and my advice is don't bother. The VVT and Inlet runner control can be troublesome, clutches are expensive. They really are not very quick, a friend had a remapped tdci focus and that could easily keep up with it. They are very thirsty for what they are too (my 300bhp ST is more economical). On the plus side they look nice, quite comfy and good fun in the bends.

If it were me I would get a tdci sport, if it has done 80k+ make sure you have a receipt for a clutch / flywheel, get it remapped and enjoy similar looks, performance and also get a bit better reliability and 500+ miles to a tank!
