Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Value
Not a lot of turbos hold their value, but this one seems to do pretty well. Got mine for 3,500 with 42,000k in mint condition.
Costs
Not bad. Got 300 miles on £30 of petrol. Not bad for a turbo!

On the road
Driving
Nice ride with standard setup.
Performance
Very fast car with bags of potential. Slow off boost when it kicks in you know where that extra money goes.
