The missus and I were thinking of getting one a couple of years ago, I really like them, they've aged well and the dials are beautiful (best thing about them!) Unfortunately we didn't buy one. Although surely it's not cheap to run, don't they have a reputation of being rather thirsty for a not-high-powered 2.0? Same as the BMW 2.0 straight 6s, bet it sounds nice though.

Someone that used to be on here, Twiglett, bought one after a succession of CRXs and an RX7, and then somehow managed to get his hands on an Altezza turbo. I found out by pulling onto a road and seeing him doing elevens going the other way...think he's now selling it for a very powerful 200SX. My car isn't slow but doesn't half seem boring in comparison :(

Well I couldn't say anything about the sound so much :L is so quiet inside haha
And the speed thing, I've heared about the car being slow for the engine size but going from the mini I wouldn't really notice :L
Yeah the car will still do elevens in the dry haha

Ive always had a soft spot for these despite hating pretty much every modern car.
I'd lower the front a biters and de-spoiler to smooth the back down more

Can't lower the front any more :(
If I wanted to go lower I'd need coil overs,
And I was going to remove the spoiler but it has a brake light in it so I'm leaving it,
I feel like something is missing with the car tho :/
