Apparently very good, well built cars and engines are second to none, good time to be buying seen as though its RWD and winter is approaching

My friend has one with full exhaust (his cats ran away) on coilovers, absolutely awesome car and very comfy for long journeys! Power wise though I wouldn't rate it over the XE although will get the power down better with the Lexus. Quite tail happy too when you want them to be.

For the performance, they're not good. I had use of one for a bit alongside my Astra and it was slower and more thirsty. The consolation is that it drove a lot nicer.

Used to drive my dads all the time, as Ian said, stupidly thirsty and not quick imo.

Nice cars though, drive well.

My dad's got one, drive it a fair bit.

Don't buy it if you're going from an XE corsa, it will feel shit slow. Its a lovely car to drive, very well specced, and comfortable to drive.

Yeah I'd say thirsty and slow TBH! gorgeous looking car though an the drive is nice. If speed ain't your thing then I'd say it was a decent 'Grown up' kind of car

I just fancy a change of scene and they caught my eye.
When the cash is in my hand there is a high chance of impulse buying.

i looked for a gunmetal grey one when i was looking, i need the tte front bumper in my life, think that alone would finish it off, standard front bumper just doesnt cut it for me, i bought a tte front splitter but sold it before i got chance to fit it.
