Great car and a better bet than the V8 IMHO - lighter lump up front and a better steering setup.
Make sure that the service history is buttoned down to the very last detail and if you can take advantage of an extended warranty, I would.
One little idiosyncrasy that might give you cause for concern is their thirst for oil - they can glug a litre in 500 miles under certain conditions. Nothing to worry about, it's a feature of the engines. Something to do with the scraper rings they use.

Cheers guys!
They seem very rare, are they?
PS Apart from ebay and autotrader, could anyone point me in the right direction to buy one?
