there good little cars i have a y reg one with a puma lump in it. There good fun. I hear some not so good things about the 1.6 but i cant comment as i dont know but . I got mine with a rod out the back of the 1.6 engine so i put my pumas 1.7 engine in it and its just good fun . Not the fastest thing on the road but if you live in the sticks there just are. And with the puma engine in it it does 360 miles to a tank and thats is not all slow driving
