Ive heard they are a good steer and the engines abit lumpy and whacking on a new air filter frees it up abit. And if you can see where im coming from in the way that you get alot of toys, leather, 2.0engine, 2005reg, group 10 insurance, less than 50,000miles all for £3.5grand is surely worth looking at? But i suppose the PH massive have got a certain petrolhead persona to live up to..

Theyre all coming out tonight arent they? I am only going off what i read on this forum with regards to the engine needing a bigger gulp of air.. which is why i would prefer a section to discuss with you lot passing on the generic PH one liners but i suppose i better get used to it.

Is that the top gear that also aired Hammond saying it was a good car to drive? I think during the lexus SC review?

Not buying crap cars is a start! Seriously, they are cheap for a reason. They are some of the dreariest, dullest cars on the market. Even worse that the coupe styling hints at sportyness, which simply is not there. They are about as sporty as a Mondeo!

There is a reason why you get a lot of car for the money, they depreciate like a bomb, because the idiots who purchase them realise they're st, and then can't flog them on.

They do look nice though I must admit. A friend had one, it was a '54 plate, and the interior is nice, but it was dire to drive.

But then again, you could ignore all the advise and buy one, then just don't come back complaining that it's rubbish rolleyes

Honestly, view it, drive it and then see how you feel.

Not worth having a section for it though!

I dont think they are too bad, but I would rather a Prelude with the 2.2 vtec lump for that money.
