Advantages: Fast, Small, sexy

Disadvantages: hardly a boot, 2 people fit in., no more.....

Weel, this really is the car of any man, or womans dream for that matter. This 1.8 litre goes nought to sixty in a shade under 6 seconds. Basically the styling is superb.
Starting with the front. This contains the workplace of the unit. The beast. The trojan, call it what you want. It is purely amazing. The air vents are a focal point of the car, cooling the beast down....as it needs to be; going so fast.
The streamline nature of the car allows the wind to flow through the vents in the side of the door, cooling the passengers within. This not only is a nesessity, but now a standard feature.
The backend...the only view that on-lookers get to see. Quite masterfully styled. The brake lights, and reverse lights don't look an inch out of place.

As you probably gathered, this is the car to own. Not only I think this. The tad under 1,000,000 million owners also thing this to. Cheap at half the price....it is pure genius. Einstein....himself would be proud.

Nah, sorry canna agree. Neighbour has one and it has the most uncomfortable ride I have ever exeprienced. Even he gets toothache because of the vibration. And it has got a Rover engine !

Not viable as a road car. I have had a test drive in a VX, and that was better (but would probably self-destruct, like most Vauxhalls, once your vauxhall dealer has got his hands on it).

Now, how about an S2000 ? or an MR2 ?

Maybe the latter hasna quite the performance, but its still mucho cool at a cheaper price.

The first word is a typo - but other than that its a good enough op. Steve.
