  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Wow - I've owned it for two years and still love it.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Does 25mpg, costs a little more to service than the average Mondeo, but holds its value like a gold bar.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Excellent. I've yet to find the tail hanging out as I was warned, but it's never going to be a Mini.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    It's good, but it's 13 years old and I'm sure a Supra Turbo will give it some competition at 10% of the cost (I traded a Supra Turbo for the 911).

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Hasn't gone wrong yet and I've done 29,000 miles in 19 months.

    Not for posers - get real - this IS the poodle's dangly bits.

    Comfort

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Don't bother if you're a fat-bottom girl, otherwise 'snug' (bloody noisy).

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Any old stanley knife lets you in, but then the Cat 1 lets every one know.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Autowerke in Norwich - Mathew knows his stuff.

    Problems

    Engine

    Leaks a bit of oil, but at £17 for 5 litres, not worth a £2500 top-end rebuild (YET!)

    Other

    If it's such a fanny magnet, why aren't they queuing up.
