Advantages: Power Steering, Central Locking, T-Bar Roof

Disadvantages: Standard alloys, Parcel Shelf, Lack of products to modify

ok, so i don't own it yet, but i have driven it and i pick it up at the weekend... a bargain for £1000 icluding 6months tax and 12 months MOT. My parcel shelf is missing, a clear indication it broke, the standard alloys are a 14" let-down, and i have looked all over the place for some unique parts and a K&N, but got nowhere... ok enough of "dissing" this car, and lets highlight some good features.

The 16V 1.6 DOHC is a good engine, even though it looks out of place in such a huge space, but when i drove it i found it was a beast!!! the car was one of the best i've driven, and i found it had the "sporty" feel i was looking for. Although the standard car is ugly in some peoples eyes, i found it beautiful to look at, the back reminded me of a toyota supra, and the front looks like nothing i had ever seen before!!!

The interior in my car is someones unfinished project, with insulation tape under the new gearknob (a cheap way of not using proper fixtures), i found this out when the thing came off in my hand, but will be corrected before i drive it away!! with a part red centre console, but not a spot of paint anywhere else, i find myself in the middle of a good project already. it is comfortable to sit in and it handles better than i expected, and i didnt get any "blowback" when shifting down a gear with medium revs (which happened a lot in my pug106), and there was very little under/over steer.

OK, so why did i buy this car??? i bought it because it is not the most common car and i saw a lot of potential for my money. My previous cars have been ok, but a 1.4zetec fiesta and a pug 106 doesn't come close to this car, this car i feel is for enthusiasts, who can appreciate the style and drivability of this great machine!

Summary: Comfort, Looks, T-Bar, insurance price, availability of new parts all important factors
