Matt if you do go for one of these i'll be happy to help you out with viewings and things, i've been looking at them for about 3 months now
From what i've learned so far, imports are OK, but more on insurance, lower resale value and hard to find one with leather seats put me off, so i've opted for the GT model which has the leather, boot spoiler etc
Pre 2006 is what you'll want i reckon, otherwise the tax band goes up from £280 or so a year to £425 a year
Should be getting my one from Scotland in the next few weeks (finally) so when i next see you i'll give you a run down
Be good if we both had one
