The head gasket blew at 80,000 miles.
The front brake discs are pitted.
Surprisingly entertaining to drive even after 9 years of ownership.
Noisy and thirsty at high speed.
Definitely hates the motorway, but loves country and town roads.
The acceleration seriously annoys BMW and Jaguar drivers.
Well not all of these cars are going to be the same mechanically, but from the one me a my mate raced the other day there seriously quick. BMW drivers be wear, this car is quick!!!
What a cracker of a car I have mine now for about 18 months I re built the complete car just as I wanted and I would not part with it for the world.
The little 3 cylinder motor of only 993cc is so quick it puts a smile on your face every time easily out pacing cars with engines twice its size. mine runs 16psi of boost cracking the 0-100 run in 6sec with a rev limiter of 8500 plus the sound track off the engine is magic Don't go crashing one though because it's a turbo charged sardine tin.
Pure cracker of a motor it's a wolf in sheep's clothing beware any hot hatch or BMW drivers don't mess with a modded one more than likely end up with egg on your face.
Parts prices are a joke though.
