Really nice to drive. Drove one back to back with a Vectra VXR and IMO, it is the better car. They always seem to do well in reviews too.

Only been a passenger in one, but I liked it, comfy, quiet when cruising around, but also gives off a nice tone when you boot it

nothing wrong with a modern FWD ford mate.

i thought they would be a comfy cruiser, few mods for cheap such as filter, exhaust and dream science should see around 240 bhp?

supposed to be just as quick as an e46 330ci, absolute bargain when you think what you are getting for the money,most are fully loaded.
i was tempted by one of these and after reading many reviews and forum posts 95% of owners were very happy with them but i was slightly put off by 1 or 2 known engine faults that could turn outo be major but on the whole solid and reliable.
and 240bhp should be very easy to achive when the same engine is fitted in some jags with iirc 250bhp

Very fast cars. Got away from one. Another i didn't. Back seats are nice and soft.... he must have been doing a lot of dogging

RWD is so much more refined. I just think a transverse FWD setup just doesnt suit a heavy chassis.. "Scuffle Bus"

Or alternatively, the RS200.
