Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Not as fast as you'd expect, although you could solve that easily with an ECU chip (plus 40bhp). Torque is good, as you'd expect with a turbo. Huge character from boxer engine. Accurate but light steering. Slightly nervous on motorways.

Not in 3 years.

Estate. Plenty of legroom front and rear. Roof rails. Very reliable.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
17" inch alloys and EBC performance front discs and pads (the original brakes weren't very good).
