Economy
Value
This seems like its worth over £100,000, at £1700 this must be the bargain of the millennium!
Costs
Only the cost of the car! 26 - 40mpg cud be better...but with performance like this, who's complaining? Service myself every 5,000 miles costs £70.

On the road
Driving
Absolutely fantastic. This handles better then anything I can imagine. Watch out Formula 1!
Performance
0 - 60 in 9s, 123mph flat out (with electric supercharger, decat, s/s exhaust system, filters, 16"" alloys) much faster than figures suggest!

Living with it
Reliability
Redlined in every gear for 250,000 miles...still like new, NEVER a single thing gone wrong (except the usual)
Image
Possibly the Best designed car in the World...is this a ferrari?
Comfort
Front seats are like buckets, totally superb, rear seats the best I've seen yet.

Security and Service
Security
Top quality immobiliser as standard.
