Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
I bought mine - a 97P with 55,000 miles on the clock for £950! Loads about so prices are through the floor, shop around though!
Costs
Costs £25 to fill it up and it lasts forever. Insurance is great. No new parts yet after 6,500 miles of usage.

Handling is simply fantastic. I'm 17 and this is my first car and im amazed. No understeer. Is very tail happy in the wet however (i found this out when i put it into a ditch)
Performance
As i said before, terrific handling. You feel your driving a 1.6 or 1.8 because its very quick! Throttle response fantastic
