Looking around at what you can get fro 7 grand second hand - they don't look a patch on this sexy beast.

Pricey to get fixed but what the hey...I didn't expect anything else.

On the road
Driving
The most fun with your clothes on. It's my wife's car and I wouldn't trust myself in it for more than little trips now and again!
Performance
Faaaantastic fun. Like Alton Towers without the queues. Took my eye of the speedo the other day-was pulling 110 and didn't notice. Oops. Have driven faster but not with this much style.

Living with it
Reliability
Seven years old. 70k on the clock and it runs like a sewing machine. Unbelievably responsive at higher revs.
Image
Come on! Just look at it! Keep your naff Mx's and MGF's and nice solid chunky BMW Z series (common as muck round here). Only Italians would turn something this sexy out of a factory. My wife's is metallic racing green and tan leather. Nuff said.
Comfort
I 6 feet 4 and it hugs me a treat. Great lumbar support and feel well wrapped around by the doors and rear.

Security and Service
Security
