Hi John,
Totally brilliant, and reliable little things too. The gearbox is truly awful (s-l-o-w at changing gears), but the steering is surprisingly sharp and they weigh next to nothing, so performance always feels brisk. Just make sure you get one with a full service history, as that little turbo three-cylinder engine is a bit high-strung.
