Economy
Value
You can pay £500 and get a superb example.
Costs
Long runs it's good. Short runs you need a second mortgage. Engine seems to look after itself.

On the road
Driving
Very easy to drive. Put the suspension in sport mode and it's solid round corners.
Performance
Wow! Outrageous power. I can see why the police used these on the motorways. How anything got away, I don't know.

Living with it
Reliability
Starts everytime. Never over-heats. Good.
Image
A very ugly car, but so what? You're inside, that doesn't matter. Very old man image though.
Comfort
Just like sitting in your lounge. Climate control and heated seats. As comfy and smooth as a Merc.

Security and Service
Security
No one's going to nick it for its hot hatch looks. Cat 1 essential though.
Service
Didn't use manufaturer, used speciallist garage. Save fortunes, but get a better service.
