I had one for a couple of years following the S and they are a great GT car. Very different to the S, great at covering long distances in comfort, plenty of power and good fun to press on with if on a good A roads plenty of controlable sideways if the conditions allow and you want that sort of thing.

Noise is rather nice too. As stated on here they are a bit more common now, but decent grunt for the money. Marmite looks, but plenty of people used to come over and have a chat about the ownership experience at petrol stations, when I owned mine.

Recommended for any test drive shortlist, i think. Mine is gone but not forgotten...
