On the road
Driving
Holds the road beautifully even if pushed hard, a pleasure to drive every time I get in. Just don't lift off the throttle mid-bend if pushing hard.
Performance
Not bad, but does lack power of a 16V. Could do with a different engine management chip to sort out the power band to deliver smoothly.

Living with it
Reliability
Starts every time and hasn't let me down yet.
Image
Agressive looking front end, and looks good from any angle.
Comfort
Seats are quite firm, on a long journey will give you back pain. Pedal box is also cramped and large feet can be awkward to fit in.

Security and Service
Security
Very good for a car of this age- standard keypad immobilser and alarm system.
