Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Externally: looks are great. Internal: poor, simply because the plastic is all over the place.
Costs
Bodywork can cost, the rest is good. MPG is good, even after a little 'quick' drive to work.

On the road
Driving
A true sportscar drive, the road holding isn't too shabby. The body does 'flex', so strut braces will help hold the corners at higher speeds. Straight-line stuff, it can stand proud in the crowd. No Autos please, stick shift is a must.
Performance
A small car, which really does give the performance you'd normally expect from larger pricey sports models. 0-60 could (and can) be improved.

Living with it
Reliability
Nothing. Tyres, engine, all age as you'd expect.
Image
The 2.0 really needs to be bought - the 1.6 is nice, but hasn't got it where is counts. MK2 is far better looking than the new MK3. MK2 has all the same figures as the MK3, MK3 has a 2.7, MK2.0 is faster! Go figure?
Comfort
It has a sportscar ride and feel... but it's not too hard on your 'seat' or your back.

Security and Service
Security
Alarm...! It's got one? Ok, if you say so.
Service
So far so good, the car has been looked after and they are fast to repair.
