Bad Points

Poor fuel economy for a 1.6, very bumpy ride, road noise, a lot of wind noise at speed.


General Comments

This is a nice car, but not as good as I was led to believe before buying one. Overall I was not happy because everything I have read was positive and stated that the car drove like a modern car with the character of a classic sports car. With all the road noise, wind noise and harsh ride it ' s only a classic sports car, with more reliability. Reliability....again it ' s a good car but not as bomb proof as enthusiastic owners would have you believe. Window regulators are a very common problem as are noisy diffs and gearboxes and im sure there ' s more.
These cars are good value for money, just don ' t expect too much. I wish I had read a review like this before buying one because after all I had read it was an anti climax.
