Iv had mine for about 20months now £1995 2002 95k, now 102k and its been great as a daily and good fun to drive.

Fuel can be thirsty in high revs but if you take it easy you can get 30-35mpg.

First 12months didnt spend a penny on it which at the time the car was cheap so I thought id be coming across problems but its been fine.

Recently iv replaced discs and pads, track rod end, exhaust flexi and 2front springs so nothibg major.

Driving in low revs its just like any other car, refined comfy and smooth then keeping it up high in the rev range and its pretty quick, holds well in the bends and will even treat you to abit of lift of oversteer if you hammer it.

The car isnt as fast as rivals but doesnt mean its slow unless you drive it correctly, as said its strongest point is holding its speed through the bends.

Iv had 140mph on the flat (private track) which is probably 135mph if you sat nav it being the cars stated top speed.


From many peoples opinions on them there are good and bad ones so test driving is highley recommended so if you do try on get it up to 7200rpm and see how it feels.
