Summary
What does this car say about you?
I am willing to try something different and I am not a badge snob!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
My family & neighbours love it some of my friends sneer and say Fix It Again Tomorrow!
Would you buy this car again and why?
I would because despite the high bills at MOT time I brought it for a lot less (and i mean thousands) than the equivilent impreza/integra/200SX/Corrado so in the long run it works out the same. Oh and Ill say it again for all you german fans: IT HAS NEVER BROKE DOWN thats put the kiss of death on it
What are you likely to buy next?
I should be sensible and go Japan or Germany but I want an Alfa 156 or 159 so bad!

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
I love it!!! 5 cylinder burble, turbo whooosh, brilliant acceleration. Easy in town with light clutch & controls. On the motorway it will easily cruise at license loosing speed, can stay in 5th anywhere after 30mph and accelerate up hils without changing down.
What's it like to park?
Okay, it has a light clutch but the large turning circe is sometimes a pain.

What's most practical about your car?
Not carrying passengers!!!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The leather looks good but its cold in the winter
