Loved
Sound of the 5 Cylinder engine is superb, low rev torque excellent, top end power fantastic !
Looks great from outside and in, still turns heads 8 years after launch in UK. Was never really restyled in its lifetime - a great advert for its looks..
I use mine as a weekend car, and every time I get back in it it feels a little bit special..
so far, mine has been totally reliable..
Improvements
Turning circle - awful !! Doors and bonnet very prone to bashes and chips..
Better sandard fit seats needed for such a fast car.
Comment
Find a good one, cherish it, keep it well maintained and waxed... and it should give you no end of fun..
lets hope they become classics and stop depreciating soon !!
