In their own words

This had the sport pack (skirt/spoilers all round), which look great, but ground even on speed ramps and driveways, and is a nightmare to jack up, access the underneath. Drives beautifully, like a magic carpet, had an LPG tank fitted, which makes up for the poor fuel economy. Annual road tax also high. Space good, but doors don't open wide enough for getting large objects in! Heated seats and heating, ICE system excellent. Powerful, fast, stylish, very comfortable, actually cheap to maintain, criminally cheap second hand. Check the MoT history. If little or no works needed for its previous MoTs, it has been well maintained, and will go on and on. As the car hacks say, if you ensure the fluids are kept topped up, it's actually a really reliable engine. And the auto box is much nicer than so many others, smooth changes at the right time.
