Good Points

Performance - 0-60 mph in 7.6 seconds means pulling from lights and overtaking slow moving pensioners effortless.
Good value for money - I paid £2,600 for a 1999 V reg 2.5 V6.
Good return on petrol - I can get 34mpg on the motorway and 30mpg in the cities which is amazing for the type of car it is.
This is a true head turner and I often see people watching me as I open the door and sink myself into the sports seats. The engine growl is out of this world and when pulling from lights driving quickly through 1st, 2nd and 3rd it is a real pleasure - I feel guilty when I have the CD player on!
Unique styling - no other car can match it.
Boy racers will like to race you from lights but most of them will feel like dying when you leave them for dead.


Bad Points

Limited rear visibility makes it difficult to park next to the curb and in front of walls.
The wing mirrors move about in their sockets at high motorway speeds.
Can not fault this amazing car in any other way.


General Comments

Excellent choice if you are looking for a cheap (ish) sports coupe with very good power.
Good points far outweigh the limited bad points and I would recommend this car.
Might want to opt for the X-pack if you can afford it, to have extras such as leather interior and a CD Autochanger.
