General comments?
When I first bought this car it seemed like the best thing on 4 wheels!
It was rapid going from 0-60 in 7.2secs and getting all the way up to 138mph!
I couldn't have asked for anything more!
The interior is good and long journeys are not a problem!
The handling is also brilliant, fly into a corner and it will glue itself to the road and even if it did start sliding it made it more fun because it was so controllable!
Not the best car to have people in the back, but you can squeeze them in!
No problems with the front leg room as I'm 6"5 and could sit in easy!
When you get behind the wheel of this car it just asks to be floored, 8,000rpm redline and it will go all the way there very quickly!
It's a shame that the car was so unreliable because this car is a wolf in sheeps clothing!
I didn't want to get rid of the car, but the way I drive means it just couldn't handle it!
If the car was driven properly I seriously doubt you would get any problems with it!
