was looking at getting the same as what stuy had a while ago a s2000 but insurance was still expensive so I opted for this, I know people have different opinions about their reliability but I am willing to give it ago, collect it in 2 weeks.

Haha Rhys lad I knew you would'nt be able to hold it in for long! Btw Joe, that's the sound of the wankel engine, sounds like its screaming, cos it has a 9000rpm redline - rotary engine, no pistons in sight fella. Dunno if this one will sound so bad, isnt it the 7500 model? Just as your TF is running sweet as a dream after all the arsing about you went through with the garage, you feel like a change lol!

Having now been in this, I can see why you got it mate, interior is extremely high quality compared to the TF, it wernt bad in itself, but I agree that this is far more refined and comfortable whereas the TF was more performance orientated and a much lower priced car when brand new... still not sure if its faster than the TF, but it don't feel much, if anything, slower than it!! Rear seats, a lot more practical!! Your like a kid at Christmas haha!

Looks well matey Never heard much bad about the motors in the 8s - maybe the lack of the turbo helps - cant be any worse than the MG though

don't be fooled into thinking the rotary's are unreliable. things only go wrong when you cut corners.
