General comments?
Being turbo-diesel, and having some plastic / light weight body parts made an awesome combination. Fantastic power, nimble handling and a real pleasure to drive (also cheap to run).
The interior of mine (Volcane) was well thoughout and finished off "properly".
Despite all the faults - the car never broke down in an inconvenient place - it just wouldn't start the next day - or allowed me to progress to my destination and then stopped.
I'd have no hesitation at recommending this car - it was fantastic - and my first "proper" car. I'd say that service history is important though.
