the thing is ive herd loads of stories about them being unreliable, id never have an R5.

depends how you drive them i suppose, but realisticly if they cant handle a good thrashing then are they worth it

Agreed most people wind the boost up, and dont uprate anything and they wonder why they go bang, mine had done 130k and was still goin strong, only had 1 problem wiv it in 6 months and that was just the starter, great little cars.
