Summary
What does this car say about you?

Yes, but I'd probably go for a V-Tec or SiR next time around.

I bought french, argh!

-
Driving it
What's it like to drive?
No power steering, which drove me mad. But apart from that probably the best car I've owned. Loved the ride and always looked forward to giving it a good thrashing! More exciting than newer cars with 50bhp+ more.
What's it like to park?
Again, the no power steering made it hard.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Had a bump in the car and despite throwing nearly £1000 at it, the steering's never been the same again. Electric sunroof stopped working. Heating dials broke off. Boot never stayed open. Revving is erratic. Clutch went, and gearbox was worn (but it was on 90k miles).
What's most practical about your car?
Not much! Weren't too bad on petrol though.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Added on induction kit and exhaust and my god it sounding amazing and pulled very well! Best pull from any of it's rivals.
