Good mpg, £20 seems to last forever.

On the road
Performance
Good off the line, but soon gasping. Handling is not the best as it rolls around corners. Even though it's lowered 40mm, needs a strut brace and uprated dampers to give it the full on back road toy treatment.

Living with it
Reliability
So far, so good.
Image
depends who you talk to. Fantasia green is the best I think it's a true marmite colour looks good lowered with a good set of 15" alloys on it
Comfort
Not bad seats, could be more supportive all the buttons are easy to get at.
