Good overall, but watch the wallet when you change the cambelt... It's an engine out job.

Never let me down.
Image
It's a rep mobile with a body kit, but does look mean and fast before you even move.

Very good in the front, however could do with more rear leg room.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Very smooth and can get 40mpg on a long run as long as you don't suffer from lead foot Lenny sindrome and stick to 70mph. Very thirsty on short town runs.
Other
A very cheap sportscar with loads of gadgets. Watch the speedo as you will not realise what speed you are doing. Reasonable overall economy when you consider how big the engine is (around 31mpg). Insurance was also a good factor.
Ownership
