Burnt out clutch from hard driving. Replaced cheaply by self.
Blown headgasket. Replaced at 129000 kms.
Front CV boot tore.
Excellent performance from a very small and economical car.
Comfortable sports interior with light up turbo indicator, grey and red trim, which is like new after 130000 kms. Paint still in good condition.
Sweet gearchange and clutch, easy around town and fun on open roads.
Corners very well.
Suprises boy racers in much larger engined cars!!!
Hey dude,
I think charades rock! especially turbo charades! They go so awesome! they are not much to look at, but they go awesome! People don't actually realize how fast they are when they have got turbo. Like my mate has one and it beat a 4WD Mitsubishi Lancer 1990! They are so sick! I might have to invest in one so that people will think that my car is a heap of junk, but when I light it up, I want to see their chins drop to the ground. Go the charade!
I too came to a G11R from an Escort (both cheap, simple, and small entertaining packages), but come on a turbo charade out accelerating a 4wd lancer? obviously it wasnt a 4wd version, perhaps the 1.6L NA version of the CB GSR? or else they werent trying. A turbo charade especially a modified one will have zero traction in the first couple gears, you won't stand a chance except for a rolling start.
