Mitsubishi Starion Turbos - any good/fun?

So Mitsubishi Starion Turbos - anyone had one? As a track car? Or as a road car?

What are they like to drive? Fun? Slow? Fast? Involving? Boring?
And any ideas on reliability? Big issues?

I'm quite liking them and think it could be a fun road car, there's a few on PH, such as this:

Just thinking about a fun car for high days and holidays, it doesn't have to be superfast, quick enough to overtake and fun enough/involving to drive is all that's required, I don't care about ultimate speed/limits, I'm thinking grin factor here.

It was the episode with the £1,500 coupes. Jezza had the Starion, Hammond the BMW635 and Captain Slow the Jag XJR. Jezza put that turbo charger from Penti Arikkala's rally car on the Starion and it blew up :D
