What's it like to drive?

Best handling car I've ever driven, holds the road likes its on rails. Only issue was the braking power, could be doing with ABS.

Fantastic, great visibility.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Had to relace rubber mountings on rear suspension to stop continual knocking sound when going over even smallest bumps/pot holes. Front wheel bearing replaced, water leaking in from passenger side door when raining. The "D" style fog lights rusted up quite quickly which is a common fault.

What's most practical about your car?

Overtaking power between 50-70, just where you need it. Good take off for the traffic light Grand Prix...

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Sports seats really hold you in.
