General Comments:

The most fun to be had on 4 wheels -seriously!

Not a car for everyone - if you get to understand this car you will love it.

I had always wanted to own an Intergrale after seeing Top Gear rave about the car. I own 7 other cars and the Integrale is the only one I would not part with. The car I bought was generally well looked after with only 80 000 kms on the clock. Initially I was horrified by some of the costs of repairs, but since getting the car sorted with new brake discs and pads and replacing the wheel bearings and a few other things expenses seem to have settled down. In my opinion this car should be used as a second car only. While it is a pleasure to drive around town this is not where it should be used. Use it on weekends for fun or when you need to get the Adrenalin running and you will have a much better relationship with this car. There is a great satisfaction to be had from the smug knowledge that you drive a car which could outperform most things on the road today. I get a great thrill out of the fact that the car is recognised for what it is only by people that respect what the car can do.
