Economy
Value
These tend to hold their value well. Parts are expensive, unless you have a mate in the trade!
Costs
Engine is H bomb proof! But parts can be expensive.

On the road
Driving
As sports cars go, handling isn't its strong point.
Performance
Very fast in a straight line and up hills. Engine output figures disguise real life performance!

Living with it
Reliability
That engine, it is H bomb proof, a chain driven mutant V6/Straight Six.
Image
Desirable hot hatch, people don't know until they hear that wonderful VR6 "gurgle" - A unique sounding vocally intoxicating beast.
Comfort
Very soft and comfortable leather seats, heated too!

Security and Service
Security
Cat 1 Total closure alarm! Unfortunately, the car was been through an attempted "jacking", fortunately it is powerful off the mark!
Service
Good, but as it is a mk3, parts are harder to source.
