Good Points
Supprisingly quick little car wth decent brakes and handling. Good fun to drive and easy to play with.
Bad Points
Not the most reliable, lacks anything resembling a build quality - flimsy at the best of times.
Boy racer image, all the chavs trying to race you from the lights in their 1.2 Corsas and Saxos who stomp on the brakes for the slightest corner and crawl around and 30 mph.
General Comments
Easy to play with. I use mine for trackdays so it's lowered, yellow stuff brake pads, free flow exhaust and a air filter with heat shield (be wary of the filters aimed ant the 'chav' culture in modifying, all they do is suck hot air into the engine).
Also has a Unichip fitted to recalibrate the engine to the modifications.
Still not the quickest car out there but with sorted brakes and handling in a light weight chassis it can out perform a lot of things on road and on track with a decent driver.
Just a shame the boy racers have spoilt it.
