Proper little rocket, but it's more boy racer than any of your previous cars!

Go like the clappers off the line, and they handle quite nicely, but they are proper ugly, brakes are shocking, and they drink petrol!

Chrome surrounds on the spot lights look a bit gack! But i love these, arent they notorious for being un-reliable and shredding boxes?

my other option was to sell bmw and get a 306 gti-6

but not really had much interest in bmw, and was thinking this might be a replacement,

but yeah i agree the boy racer issue

Virtually identical, apart from the odd extra.

Jap imports often come with weird extras like umbrellas in door shuts, and flares under the dash!

Yeh the Japs include flares in a lot of their cars. The umbrella is in the british model not the import though.

One has bronze tinted glass and the other has green. Cant remember which way round it is though

Dont do it!! The way you will be launching it you will be going through a box once a month

Had a mate who had one. Was a UK Sunny and he went through boxes like they was going out of fashion. It was running 1bar, but he wasnt lets say sympathetic on launching it

Great little cars

They do run out of puff over 100mph though but are great fun off the line

Don't pay much for that one though, £2.5k max if its in good nick.
