I had an R plate for about 2 years before my FRS and LOVED it
It was nippyish when it needed to be and held with a uk scoob losing car length ish to 100 which is ok!
I thought it was brilliant on fuel too!!
Only problem i had really was coil packs.
ALl in good cheap clean fun. Better than an over priced 106 gti!
Oh and i HATED "maxo's" before i got one!
