Driving
What a drive!
Performance
Excellent handling, nearly lost my new car on a test drive because this thing corners like it's on rails. Engine in 2.0 guise is quick, but not amazing.

Living with it
Reliability
If you get a good one and service them I'm sure they are good. I had every known fault under the sun and I'm convinced the 24,000 miles was more like 80,000 miles!
Image
Better than the modern day ugly Ferrari's, I say!
Comfort
Cramped and crashy ride, bit like being in a small plane.

Security and Service
Security
I'm sure these things are easily nicked.
