Good

• 01-08-1996: Transmission options
• Six-speed manual gearbox from August 1996

Bad

• Around in other markets such as Japan (RHD) and USA (LHD) fore several years before it came to the UK, which is why you see G and H reg independent imports at auction.
• Average warranty repair costs in 2003 Warranty Direct Reliability index (index 101.16 v/s lowest 31.93) due to high cost of individual repairs. Link:- www.reliabilityindex.co.uk

Watch

• The cheap ones will be independent imports and may be the non turbo 225bhp SR.
• Starter prices get down to around £2000.
• Unless you're prepared to gamble, these cars need a thorough professional check by someone who knows them inside out.
