I love mine, the lack of rear spoiler is what i like about them, suits me perfect as its my daily driver BUT when i bought mine it had substanial service history with a specialist inc cosworth headgasket upgrades. Id be wary of buying any 2.5 with stock gaskets. They also drink oil compared to 2.0. But for shear driveability the 2.5 is great. Mine is also mapped by bob rawle to 330bhp/340lb/ft
