I had a 2000 model one with the full 'SP' kit as a stop-gap for a few weeks and really enjoyed it. They're worth pennies now (mine was £1k about 4 years ago) so are a fun little banger for not much money. I drove mine from Oxford to Le Mans and back and it was a really good car for that trip.
Love the look of them and at 6'4" I find the driving position excellent too.
Father In Law had a 1.4hdi that he did 250k in and the overwhelming memory of it was the road noise from about 30 mph upward.
Is it down to the tyre size, type of tyre composition, lack of soundproofing or something else?
I'd have one tomorrow if anyone knows.

Bit of an update for anybody whose interested.
When I purchased the Car there was an issue with some Lacquer Peel on the Roof. Looks like someone had a roofrack installed
Thought about having the roof resprayed but in the end I took the Car down to Ace Wraps in Taunton and had the Roof Wrapped in 3M 1080 Carbon.
Next followed a bit of a mishap with the Exhaust. Day before Christmas Eve and the Exhaust decided to part company from the Cat. Bit of bodging to get me past the festive period and the decision was made to Visit Infinity Exhausts in Bristol for a Full Stainless System.
Very Pleased with the Fit, Finish and Overall Sound. Would definitely recommend them!

Update Part 2
The Wheels fitted to the Car were really starting to suffer from Damage and Corrosion.
Cue a visit to South West Wheel Repairs in Exeter for a full refurbishment.
Had a little look round at all the different colours and settled on an Audi Colour which is the same as used on Black Edition Cars
All sealed using GTechniq C5 Nano Sealant on the Rims and Obsession Nero on the Tyres to keep it all Shiny Shiny
