Reliability
Loads of minor and major problems. Bought it off unscrupulous 'dealer' and independent company that checked it were incompetent - they ended up having to pay £2,000+ to put things right!
Image
Good looking, rare(ish) car. Starting to look a bit old now but not old enough to look 'classic'.
Comfort
Ride too harsh, even for 'sportscar', particularly when off main roads.
