Don't believe all the hype
Just sold my 2.0 OP after 3 years of ownership and although it was mostly enjoyable, it wasn't the best car I've owned.
On the positive side the car was 100% reliable, water tight and extremely beautiful.
On the negative side, I found the ride too hard, the handling good on completely smooth roads, but poor on normal roads with holes/ bumps. It was noisy, uncomfortable and not that economical for a lightweight modern 2.0 litre car.
