General comments?
Great on the open road, plenty of power when needed, good fuel economy on the open road, a bit thirsty around town/urban driving.
I highly recommend replacing the standard air filter with a K&N filter and air intake; increases fuel economy and provides much better acceleration.
Only break downs I've had is when the fuel pump failed, and a wiring fault in the dash caused the car to stop.
Suffers from boot leaks, easily fixed.
The motor is extremely reliable and will take a lot punishment.
Very reliable if serviced regularly, be prepared to replace a few components on the vehicle, mostly due to general wear and tire.
