I have had no problems with this car so far, will be replacing the timing belt soon, but this is of my own choice!

General Comments:

This car is extremely smooth, the V6 engine powers through the rev range effortlessly and takes off at 4000rpm, pushing you back into the seat.

The interior is half leather, half suede, and very comfortable to sit in.

The boot is large for a coupe, I have never had any issue with the space.

The exterior is chaste white, with smooth curves and a lovely sporty design.

Faults:

Absolutely solid reliability, I have not owned it for very long, but nothing has gone wrong yet. Just a few small problems that I guess any 10 yr old car may have.

Starting problems when cold, cured by magnecore leads and NGK uprated spark plugs.

Rear hatch will not stay open, I don't know how much it would be to replace the hydraulic struts so I use a piece of wood to prop it open.

Slight rattle from stock exhaust system a month or so after I got.

General Comments:

This car is an extremely smooth drive, and makes progress even when you're not going for it. The engines torque and ability to pull in any gear, including fifth, is surprising. It is quick, not as fast as I had expected, but to be fair I bought it for the noise!

Mine has a Green Cotton induction Kit on it and a Powerflow cat-back exhaust system with a Ractive carbon fiber back box. It sounds amazing, very loud and with a strong resemblance to an F1 car. The noise is like surround sound!

The handling and steering weight are both superb, it is soft enough to relax on long drives yet with high ability and feel when you up the pace. Accelerating out of corners in the dry the grip levels are very high, but beware it is twitchy in the wet when you back of the throttle. The gear change is snappy, but when cold it does require a positive shift between gears. Mine has just had new disc's and pads all round that are now fully run in, these are superb for standard brakes.

The interior is simple and effective, the front seats are some of the best I have sat in, because they are supportive and comfortable. The two rear seats are neither, especially if you are tall as your head will touch the roof.

I find it such a nice car to drive and just take it easy in, yet when your going for it, it's all there with the character of a racer that you just wouldn't expect.

Oh, one last comment, the fuel economy is so bad! This is my first V6, and the amount of petrol it uses seems out of proportion with the actual performance. I normally get about 20mpg-25mpg...!

Faults:

It has been extremely reliable. I do a lot of mileage in it and I never worry that it won't make it!

The only thing that has gone wrong since I've had it are the spark plug leads, it was misfiring so I had them changed. Ever since then, it's been perfect - you can probably tell I love it a lot.

It has the leather seats, which are very comfortable and have proved to be very durable. Altogether it's a well put together car & it has good performance.

Handles well, sounds great & it is quick. Its shape hasn't aged at all, it's 9 years old, but looks modern.
