supercar performance for new Ford money.
Costs

Living with it
Reliability
Bad reputation for reliability. I have only had minor starting trouble when very hot. The manifolds do glow red though!

Blackpools finest! This is a proper car!
Comfort
Surrounded by hide - can be cramped on long journeys - but hey - go buy a Volvo.

Security and Service
Security
Convertible so take your chance if you leave it out. Still, good microwave alarm technology.

This is a specialist car so don't expect main dealer treatment.
