I had a chance to drive a Delorean once.  My main impressions were:
acceptable power and handling.  Awesome cockpit layout.  Getting in
and out takes a moment to get used to if you're used to a land yacht.
My main complaint was visibility.  Seeing out of the car other than
straight ahead is not easy, especially for checking blind spots. If
I'm going to shell out that much for a car, I want to see what's 
trying to hit me!  Also, there is limited awareness of where the nose
of the car is, as the front tapers down. 

Don't let this scare you off, though.  It's a fun car to drive and (for
some people, I guess) an ego trip to be seen with.  Check with your
insurance company before buying... some companies won't touch it.
