In their own words

Bought this as my first car just after passing my test, surprised me at how great it is, very quick for its age. Very strong engine and i've had no problems with it yet. Very responsive steering and sticks to the road. Parts can be expensive to buy as they're getting quite rare. A definite head turner. Insurance isn't too bad for a new driver either, it was the same price to insure this as it was a 1 litre clio. Excellent car and would definitely recommend it to anyone. Will be a sad day when mine goes.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Very technologically advanced for a car of its age.
