Hey paulsmudge, I have an 04 MCS and I totally love the little thing. Definitely the pros are the fun, the go kart handling, the I can take into the city and find parking anywhere feeling. Good on gas also. And they are pretty badass. The cons are and you will find such topics on this very forum that I know of are the electrical system, windshield washers both front and back. Headlight washers, leaks that go into the battery storage in the trunk. That may seem like a long list which it is but you have to remember that it's a car over 10yrs old so if you just remember that then you will be alright. Good luck.
