Hows the leg for getting into lowish cars, not been in one but my MGB was a bit of a pain to get in and out off. The MX5 with the roof up was worse.

Not really heard anything about them but agree with Peter that it may be quite low for getting in and out of. Have you checked the Parkers reviews?

Is that the 2.7? I remember looking at them and for how much they have under the bonnet they seem very underpowered!

I had the SIII 2.0, and its pretty gutless, 0-60 about 9.2 seconds, my diesel mondeo would out run it, that said they look nice, and have a nice interior, if you go for the red one.

The v6 is pointless, you only get another 30bhp, and a massive hit at the pumps.

Both engines are under powered (needs a turbo IMO), but was originally designed for the first coupe back in 99 i think, I had that car as well, and that engine in that car was good (it was alot lighter), 0-60 8.2 seconds.

Cheap and reliable cars to go for, the engine is bullet proof and been around for years.
