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.
