there nice, quick and comfy, supposedly not quite as good handling mainly due to being bigger car, but def worth considering, 6speed 2.0 167bhp or there abouts

Watch for....

Cambelt - Heard of them snap on 25k old cars. Get it done unless you have proof of it being done recently. Very important you get it done.
Exhaust - are expensive. £220 for a std cat back and £600 for a cat from peugeot. Not sure now, but they didn't do pattern ones last year.
Clutch - They're all heavy, so don't worry if it is!
Gearbox - syncros can commonly go, so do some quick changes to check!
Brakes - Discs warp easily, I went through 3 sets in 40k.
Suspension - Usual knocks from lower ball joints, but nothing much else.
Alarm - Interior sensors go, causing false alarms. A new one is £60. Sensors can be turned off, which is what most people do if they can't be bothered to fix it!
Airbag light - If it lights up, it's normally a faulty plug (yellow) under the front seats.
Front windows - tend to judder going down. Cheap but time consuming to fix.
Air con - often doesn't work, but only because it needs a re-gas.

And that's all that I can remember.

Oh, and Diablo red is ok, but not as good as China blue :wink:

FWIW I think they're about £2k over priced for what they are :wink:
