I re-iterate exactly what jseemungal has said in his Guide. I bought mine at 95k and it now has 160k on it, I have had the car for 2 1/2 years ..so that tells you how much I do a year in miles.. quite a lot. I am a Contractor so I travel for work a lot ..all over the country in fact. When I bought this car I was originally looking for the later model, however I I liked to look of this car,(it stood out from the next model up) was a Sport.. so I new it was a 'Go'er' and the acceleration.. was phenomenal, and....it was the right colour,Metalic Maroon. There were a few things that had to be sorted as on the drive home there was some sort of light banging coming from below the rear seat on the divers side...(the swinging arm ). That weeekend I had the car up on the ramps and looked at all the 'rubbers' and found that they were all originals still.. and some were a bit soft, so as time went on I decided to replaced all of these even though they could well have still gone on for the life of the car....however a concious decision was made ( my life would be in the care of this car)to change them all .. just in case and the Brake disc's were all uprated.
