I'm glad I owned one, I'd always fancied one. They're no sports car but it got down the road well enough. IMHO the least they need is a good exhaust and filter. Personally back to back I prefer how it handled to the mrs st170, that can feel nervous at first, certainly on my work thrash.....er, commute it would hold more corner speed. No quicker point to point, mostly let down by its lack of braking capability.

Loved every part of owning one except for the Mondeo image. As one guy that's not really into cars said " sounds nice but it's still a Mondeo"
