Read this website. Should answer most of your questions!

Running costs wise, they aren’t cheap cars to run. I get 250 to £40 of Optimax; if you rag it you get about 175 ish to a tank.

Servicing isn’t cheap either ball part figure £150 minor service, £400 major service. Insurance can be harsh (I pay £1300 Full Comp, 23 (22 at the time of insurance) with 3 years) Tesco is really good for quotes.

They are good and reliable cars IF serviced properly i.e. oil changed every 3k and serviced to the recommended schedule.

With 350bhp I reckon you should see 4 seconds ish 0-60, but if you up the brake horse by much you may affect the reliability.

Hope this helps
