An Italian coupe for Mondeo money, well worth it.

Believe me, it will cost you to repair it. £750 for a service and cambelt, £350 for new front discs and pads.

Driving
Excellent performance, not that quick off the mark, but beautiful at 3,500 plus revs. Engine gives off a fantasic howl when pushed.
Performance
Cannot fault it, best car I've owned yet. Great all rounder.

Living with it
Reliability
Touch wood, nothing too drastic has gone wrong yet. Brake light pedal switch, windscreen washers got blocked. But I'm always checking and making sure the garage check anything that sounds funny.
Image
Looks great, make sure you get a phase 2, better alloys and crome effect dash. If you can get the 17 inch alloys, even better.
Comfort
For the driver and passenger great ... forget about the back seats!
