Mine's a 2010 Turbo edition estate, it's done 125k and feels like it'd do the same again, it flew through its MOT last month without an advisory of any kind, it's fun round corners you just have to be a bit brave, grip is good but it rolls a bit in a straight line it's brilliant once you get into second, as a Civic TypeR owner found out to his cost a couple of nights ago wink Tuning is incredibly easy 300bhp/450nm is only about £550 (3" Downpipe, 3.5 bar fuel pressure regulator and a NOOB stage 3 map) really wakes them up, both Abbott racing and Neo Brothers market a Bilstein B12 kit that really makes a difference, the engines are incredibly robust as long as you fit forged pistons and rods,
There's a manual Turbo Edition on Autotrader at the moment that's got more miles on it that I'd have liked (113k), but it's less than £4k, so always the option of getting that and spending the difference on tuning biggrin

Still think I'd prefer one with fewer miles on it through...
