Living with it
Reliability
Mechanically sound. Notorious suspension bushes tend to go before 30k, take to specialist and replace with Powerflex polyurethane - improve performance and will never need replacing. Mangoletsi main dealer wanted £3K to fix susp £350 inc VAT by an indie!
Image
Outshines most stuff inc the myriad of TTs - women love them and it looks like £30k of car, mine cost £6450 with knowledge of susp repairs required
Comfort
Sit on front seat rather than in, but has gorgeous leather and all mod cons and they are reliable
