Its performance is excellent, and it will eat most hot hatches for breakfast. It handles great too, and seems to stick to the road. The styling is still not that dated either. Its 14 years old, and still turns heads. The insurance was painful at first, as a new driver I paid £1300 TPF&T. It was worth it though.
