[quote=Countrycruising negatives are .... it's yellow [/quote] So is this the real reason why you once attempted to disguise a yellow by hiding it under a black cloak?

What's wrong with them? I am looking for a cheap car to thrash around a track occasionally. I think as a car they are ok, but the selespeed was notoriously unreliable or something. I quite fancy a 2.4. Could always drop the engine into your NA coupe ! Joe did it and tuned ot to a tad over 200bhp...

Yep the gearbox was terrible and rough, a second or so delay before gear changes when driving it quickly, not much better cruising either. A friend of mind had one, pretty quick and sound nice but in the end he got rid of it.

Suppose a manual one is better, but surely any 2.4 Stilo needs the same level of maintenance and investment as 2.0 Coupe? Think I know where I'd rather spend my £1000 a year!
Must admit though, I'd like to take a Schumacher version for a spin, in fact any one for a spin.
