Standard suspension is quite soft and wallowing, i drove another car with the same Pedders setup and was more than impressed so went with that, the coil overs are firmer but not harsh and the car feels stable at unrestricted autobahn speeds
With this sort of power i thought its better to have the best brakes i could afford, standard brakes are OK but nothing special even with performance fiction pads
Cruise control is standard
It does have traction control but its very basic, it will let the wheels spin for about a second then just cut the power completely, but it can be switched off as can be seen in the above video in dunks post
Not sure what you mean about water ingress to the front arms as i've never heard of it, from Aus they don't have a lot of rustproofing but lots of people (me included) get them fully treated
With the Pedders setup and a few bushes uprated i don't think the power is too much for the chassis
Don't have any pics of the boot but yes it is small, the car will carry 4 people but only has a boot to carry luggage for one lol
Stock seats arn't too bad, they are armchairs but actually hold me better than my old scooby seats did
Nothing more than just normal servicing and plenty of visits for v-power
