Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy
Value
Great value for money try and get something as good and cheap that offers the same performance and achieves the same smile! Future classic!
Costs
Not too bad if you shop around, get brakes and clutch parts via Internet. Tyres are nightmare especially if you have 14 inch originals. Finding a V rated rear is like finding rocking horse dirt!

On the road
Driving
Great fun to drive especially in the dry, you can go like Schumacher around corners because the car makes it easy! Make sure you have all tyres checked for PSI tracking etc. Understeers slightly too. If you put it through a hedge its your own doing!
Performance
High revving engine use the top end for thrills. Or drive like Miss daisy and get 40 mpg!

Living with it
Reliability
Must be well looked after. If so shouldn't have too many problems. Remember how old the car is if you do though!
Image
Great all kids think its a Porsche! Classic sports car looks and great on sunny days with the roof off. Heater melts you!
Comfort
Not too bad for sports car, passengers don't complain in the leather seats. Not for lane driving and off road use!

Security and Service
Security
Have standard alarm with a toad immobiliser also have a steering lock and face off stereo.
Service
A service costs from £120 which is over priced. Parts department are superb though. Was going to be charged an hours labour to replace boot spring parts cost £45 and did it in 5 mins! Only use them for servicing for fault diagnosis if need be!
