I had a 57plate 3door st2 in silver before getting the Z it's was a good car and fun to drive the v5 sounded ace as well ,had it since new for 5 years. I had no problems with it at all. The only thing was the low mpg I got about 18 to 24 mpg out off it and only ever got 30mpg ones or twice on a motor way run . I also needed new tyres every 7000 miles. Hope that helps at all, I was told if u chip it i would gain 5mpg and + the obverse more power
