“Ive had the car for only less than a year and never...”

Good Points
Cheap parts, can always find parts, they are always there. Don't advise anyone to put body kit, but put 17 inch to get a better response on turns especially if your taking turns of 160km.

Bad Points
The car comes with ESP button on and off. Its useful in the water but when u want to do a handbrake or take a steep turn its really annoying. I keep it off at all times. The gear shifting is too long and always cranks from 1st to 2nd gear and hurts the car. That's why I'm putting a short shift and re-enforced gearbox. But that will cost me.

General Comments
Ive had the car for only less than a year and never had a problem except the lambda sensor that lit in my dashboard because of the chip I added. Other than that no problems what so ever. I've added a manifold, cranks, super chips, super sprint straight pipe exhaust, a Subaru exhaust for the head and KnN generation 2 filter all Kevlar. All those gave me around 35hp added to the 140 I already had. The car runs like a beauty. I was able to beat the 206 RC 180hp, Porsche Boxster 2000model, S3 Audi, but not the type R. Once you know how to get the hang of the car you will love it. I haven't tried with the Renault Clio 172hp yet. There are no bad points on this car. I have people stopping me on the road asking me if its for sale. I get asked that maybe 15 times a week. I have plans to put in a turbo which will add an additional 70-100hp to the 175 I have but that's only if it is done right. Should be able to stick to an EVO's and a Subaru's rear by then. Was also able to beat a BMW 330i, 2005 model, but at 180km it went right by me. My car does about 6.9 sec 0-100km. I do 170km in 11sec. The RC does 7.4 sec 0-100km. I recommend everyone to buy that car. You should see how it goes uphill.
