Managed to delete my original post, doh!
Picked it up in sept in non running condition, replaced all 4 coil packs as they were past their best and causing an issue
My first rwd car so im taking it steady for the moment, although the ride seems to be very good. Down b road and on motorways its quiet and dont hear much roar from the tyres.
Its good to be able to have electric seats, not used to it in my fiesta with them being manual. Theyre heated as well
So far ive managed to cover a few miles and averaging around 22/23mpg, combined driving around town and such.
I wouldnt mind in the future doing a few mods, plan to take it off the road at winter get it serviced and generally giving it good going over!

A hell of a lot of car for the money, if you can keep up with the running costs!
Not many sportscars can comfortably seat 4 6 foot men and have a boot big enough for everyones luggage!
Oh and the noise!
Good choice OP - I love mine to bits!

The noise is something to adjust to, when its not under proper load its a bit of a weird note from the engine but amazing once you get past 4k it starts to roar then sounds completely different after 6k!
Already itching for modifications.....its a sliperly slope when you modify one car the standard one just won't do
Hopefully running costs won't be "too bad" its coming off the road at the end of the year for a big service and a bit of TLC then tax from march to oct ( yeah 12months tax is brutal ) the wheels could do with being refurbed as brake dust has got underneath the paint, wouldn't mind just going for a light antheracite. Bodywork is pretty good just a couple of dings here and there!
