I was recently offered one for silly money, but after advice from others I gave it a miss!

Consensus was that they're slow and boring to drive :?

I like them, cheap and look good in my opinion, the v6 sounds great and the mivec ones revs to 8000rpm and have 197hp.
I don't like the fact that most have that crappy triptronic autobox that ruin's the performance and the fact they rot out.
ild say one would be worth a punt if the price is right its not too rusty and has the manual box.
my 2p ;)

if manual and not rotten and the bushes are good then ok but only if cheap.

they are the worst car I have ever tried to work on. obtuse for the sake of it. you will curse the bloody thing just for making life more difficult for you. like removing the entire intake mani to change the rear bank of spark plugs! :?
