On the road
Driving
Great road holding with a new set of Goodyears. Unfortunately they have stopped making NCT tyres for the car. Can be a little jolty on Britain's pot hole ridden roads.
Performance
Great road holding (if you have good tyres) and pretty nippy also around the 4000+ rev mark.

Reliability
Starts first time every time. Have had a few problems with wheel bearings and window seals.

Still looks fab. Prefer the old look to the new TF.
Comfort
Very comfortable on smooth roads. Much better than the MX5.
