Friend use to have one. I use to drive it everywhere, thought it was the best car in the world when i was 18/19
Pretty quick, gear ratios are mega long. Make one of the best noises ever (imo). The 5 cyclinder off beat noise then the turbo spooling in on top....awesome.
Handles very wierd. Plenty of grip (lsd), but very rolls about at the same time. Driving posistion was very wierd aswell, i needed the seat to drop but i am 6.4 so that might have something to do with it.
Aparantly there is a way to change the belt without dropping the engine out (cant remeber what thought ).
He never had any problems and it was on 95k when i was abusing it everywhere.
