i cut my losses and sold mine spent a fortune modding it to try to improve the handling to no joy they just handle bad......
sounds real nice and goes quite well when thrashed but thats all it has going for it!!!!
i sold mine and bought my cossie never looked back the cossie is better mpg!!! and its faster!!! and it handles 10x's better!!!!
really think you shud have kept the cossie...
just my opinion they are a nice car but imo not one of the best to drive...
I'll be second, that lasted 6 weeks, inc 2 weeks in the trader- Awesome car for what they are, sound lovely, excellent example of mid 90's sporty/high end hot hatch.
Engine wise- if you dont thrash it from cold you'll be fine they go on for ever- headgaskets are a killer if you ever need to do one. Pre 96 cars rot like fuck.
If yours has leather its a highline- those BBS wheels are not correct for the car- BOTHERED YEH?? LOL>
Watch out for the ABS which is the only real weak point on the car. Mine used to play up a bit but was ok..
Ecu is 500 sovs, front wheels sensors 90 and rear 60 - some people have chased the fault for ages and never won.
I got 19-22mpg from mine.
