Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Can be picked up for around a grand, need I say more?
Costs
They are expensive to run, but still not bad for its age. Most of the money spent is usually general servicing anyways.

On the road
Driving
The Drive is awesome, very responsive and puts you right in the centre of the action. A real fun car to drive!
Performance
Awesome, pulls brilliantly throughout the range - really rips you to your seat above 4500rpm, it wastes most things on the road, and with a few engine mods outruns RS2000's and many other performance cars.

Living with it
Reliability
It's never let me down, 'touch wood'
Image
I think it looks awesome.
Comfort
Wingback Seats are awesome, really grippy and in great condition.

Security and Service
Security
Not to good standard, but get it de-locked, and get a tracker, steering lock, and CAT1 alarm and your not looking to shabby.
Service
Faultless, whenever I needed new parts. Servicing I do myself for added peace of mind.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Done 100k now, and still faultless. Ticks over perfectly and runs just as it did new. Cannot be critised.
Other
Check chassis rails under the airbox and the little plastic flap next to the drivers seat on the floor which checks the inside of the drivers sill, basically check everything you can! Take your time finding one, there are plenty of shagged ones.
Ownership
Did you buy the car new?
Used
Would you buy the same model again?
Yes
Did you buy from the same manufacturer again?
Yes
