General Comments:

This is a surprisingly fast car, not a lot of people know about the car or engine so you can imagine a lot of people are surprised at the lights.

Its MPG is not excellent, but if you drive slowly it is better???

The handling is awful to start, but I've dropped mine by 40mm and improves a lot.

Not too many companies do performance parts for this car so money is required to improve performance.

Inside the car is not bad at all, comes standard with folding bucket seats which adds to the sport feel.

This will do 0-60 in roughly 7.5secs providing you drive it right and do a couple of touches to the cars handling, but my next improvements are coming by the way of a new chip and a power flow cat converter.

As a whole I would recommend anyone to buy this car as performance is excellent compared to it rivals and it looks different. Everyone is driving Corsa's and Saxo's, so it good to be different. With tinted windows, 17 inch alloys, twin exit exhaust, power boost valve, green cotton air filter and being dropped, this car is excellent fun.

Faults:

There is a knocking from the right lower front of engine/transmission. This knock is quite pronounced with a cold engine, when you accelerate hard in a straight line or cornering. As the engine warms up (or the oil gets round?), the knocking becomes less evident.

It jumps out of 5th gear on a long run. The first long run I did with the car was yesterday, and it jumped out of gear 4 times in 400 miles.

General Comments:

The car seems to represent good value - you get a lot of car for your money.

Its not very sporty, but the handling & brakes are superb.

The throttle pedal is very soft.

The spec seems minimal. It has central locking, but not on a fob - you need to use the key. The interior light, although its bright, goes off as soon as you close the door. The mirrors are electrically operated for setting, but are not heated.

The seat belt reels are poor at coiling up a released belt - sometimes results in a trapped belt in a closed door.

The cabin is very roomy, with plenty of legroom for the rear seat passengers.

The 60/40 split of rear seats is nice.

A lovely touch are all the cub-by holes under the mat at the rear - including a bucket!

It also has cup-holders at the front.
