Value
So cheap for 6k, you get so much style and performance. Make sure you get a good one.

The cambelt £1.5k can now be done for £400 - everything else is normal. It will become / currently is a classic and has cult status.

On the road
Driving
Brakes are stunning. Corners like on rails.
Performance
Fiat quote 220bhp and 0-60 in 6.5 seconds. This is very very conservative. In Autocar, they achieved 6 seconds dead to 60 and the 0-100 came up in 14.1 secs (thats very, very fast). The power for a standard model is nearer 240bhp. 165mph Vmax!

Living with it
Reliability
No problems so far - only had a month.
Image
Rare and, even today, it still looks very fresh. It looks like a proper sportscar.
Comfort
If you're 6' 2" and over, not many cars will accomodate you - this has so much space it's truly amazing. Loads of front legroom. Back a lot tighter. Seats front very good. Climate control very nice.

Security and Service
Security
Tracker, Cat 1 alarm and immobiliser very secure.
