As much info on what they like to own would be great thanks.

I have one after having an escos for 12 years.

Its standard at the moment and is a very good all round car.

Does torque steer a bit but is very managable compared to an ERST.

john,

Very responsive and low lag. Never seems to go above 3000 rpm
when driving normally. The engine is so under stressed it will
last for ever if you dont mess with it too much.

I did 26 mpg on a long run even with a bit off welly on the right foot.

Dont get an orange one like mine - People look at you funny

john,

Nice firm comfortable ride but there is quite a bit of tyre noise on some
abrasive road surfaces at speed.
Handles very well.

A very nice daily driver that has a bit of poke.

Fantastic factory Sony stereo and xenon headlights !

I like it a lot - Although I miss my cossie very much
