Summary
What does this car say about you?
Flashy git haha

They love it - congratulate me all the time After I wash it, the gleaming nighthawk black paint makes it look mean. One of my chick mates likes to refer to it as the Batmobile. OOOHHH YEAH
Would you buy this car again and why?
yes. got everything i want in a car good sound system good looks performance styling reliability (its Japanese)
What are you likely to buy next?
Def another Jap car. My previous was a civic sport and that lasted ages. Then it was this one. Prob have to be a Type R next. It has to be something with more BHP. Can't downgrade from here!

Independent
Did you buy this car new?
No

£6,000

July 2006
Did you get a good deal and why?
Excellent deal. Managed to haggle the price down a bit and got a beauty with full toyota service history.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Looks bloody good. Drives good. Bought it to the envy of my hatchback driving friends!
What was the dealer like?
Well it wasn't a dealer - it was done privately. The guy was cool. A bit of a rich kid with a company car so didn't need this one.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It's smooth - could do with more low down power But get it above 3,000 revs and it comes alive with its VVTI technology. I tend to drop a gear or two when I'm overtaking and it f&^king flies!!! I've put plenty of people in their place when they tried to challenge me. Arrogant sods!!!!
What's it like to park?
Well...... View is a little restricted - but its managable.. unless you're a woman lol in which case you're gonna take years to park it

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing - apart from highspeed tyre blowout - but that can happen to any car
What's most practical about your car?
Boot space is ok - but neva use it so don't matter Leg room is fine Back room adequate enough but then again i aint a freakin taxi driver so friends can walk!!!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
I like the sound system - its got some quality bass - its sony what do you expect!
