had a mk.1 in 2005, whoever says a 172 is as fast is a just wrong lol, the v6 would welly it!

Lots of torque, not very fast but not slow, felt unstable at 140'ish, LOADS od road presence do not bother if you are the shy retiring type. Will never forget a fucking ferrari (duno what model) slowing down on the a55 to get a good look at mine lol!!!

Coilpacks go on them for fun, turning circle awful, but you will snap 15 year old knicker elastic at 30 yards lol!! A unique experience, i liked owning mine and the lad who bought it (local) still has it 3 years later.
