from lights

They are quick, FWD tho. Gorgeous car IMO and tuneable. Nice interiors and i think they are reasnably priced. But IIRC most engine work requires the engine to be removed.

Sound amazing

They do sound really nice, this one had a really subtle dump valve.

Yellow car, Brembos and full leather.

When the bonnet was up you can see why the engine needs to come out even for basic jobs there aint even 5mm clearence between engine and any side of the bay at all cant even see how they fit it all under the hood really

not very good for the engine, if it was very quiet it may have been a recirc which is good

My mate had one for a while. Aren't they 230 out of the box? (or thereabouts?). Anyway, he let me drive it. Fast cars, but I found the turbo quite fierce, although this was the first time I had driven a turbo'd car, so probably wasn't used to it.

As said, a lot of engine work can be expensive due to labour charges rather than parts.

Quickish but nothing amazing, and too much money to maintain.

Sound is immense,

You want a red one, paint the wheels black and tune it. Job done
