Driving
I really enjoy driving this car. Get the suspension properly lowered by Techspeed - it transforms the handling.
Performance
Engine is a stonker. Very flexible, likes revs.

Living with it
Reliability
Pretty poor. Lots of niggles/build quality issues. Head gasket failed at 18k.
Image
In 2000 spec with new alloys, it really turns heads. Love it or hate it really.
Comfort
Surprisingly snug and comfy even on long journeys.

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser is Cat 2, desperately needs a motion sensor as alloys are laughably easy to steal - Rover locking nuts are a joke - get aftermarket ones as wheels and tyres gost aroun a grand to replace.
Service
Appalling dealers. Without exception. Would buy again otherwise.
