"OK as a weekend toy, no good as a main car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing so far.

General comments?

An excellent car in terms of performance and handling. However, don't make the same mistake as I have - don't expect to use it as a main car. It's difficult to get in and out of, it's noisy (don't expect to hear the stereo!) and the insurance group is crazy for a car which has a Thatcham approved cat 1 alarm/immobiliser. Not much room for luggage either. To sum up it looks great but the view from the inside is very different.

Isn't the noise the fun part of it?

A throbbing V8 engine tone is one thing, noise is quite another. Noise is not good.

Yes it's noisy, yes it's impractical, IT'S MEANT TO BE A CHEAP FAST GOODLOOKING CAR! Sorry, but if you want comfort you have bought the wrong car!

"its difficult to get in and out of." No it's NOT, unless you are very large.
