My dad has one - drive it quite a bit. Nice car - great brakes and practical. Chassis is a bit bland though - just steady understeer, and hard to upset it to drift. It's the 210bhp one, but is identical other than chip to 225.

Pretty much no lag - amazing on a 1.8 putting out that power..... 6 speed box is nice, but you keep forgetting you have a 6th, and end up doing 20 miles on the Mway in 5th

Traction control is quite unobtrusive as well.
