Economy
Value
Hard to find a good one these days and it'll be expensive when you do!
Costs
Parts are hard to find and usually are expensive.

On the road
Driving
They're rare, handle like go-karts, they are turbo'd and are in the cheap tax bracket! Bags of fun!
Performance
Very fast. Do 0-60 in 7.1 seconds as standard!

Living with it
Reliability
Bad. They're old and most parts are very old and worn now.
Image
Not many around! And still looks cool and modern. Just ask Ali G!
Comfort
The best seats you'll ever sit in, they grip you perfect and are really soft to sit in.

Security and Service
Security
Very easy to break into, especially those back windows. Get an alarm ASAP.
Service
Haven't got a clue about these cars, best to go to a specialist.
