Door trim broke at 3 months old.
Side skirt split at 9 months.
Three leaks within the first year.
Roomy, comfortable and breathtakingly fast.
The seats are good, and it comes with all the equipment needed to enjoy driving.
Performance is great when the boost cuts in, and the handling is great in anything except the most adverse conditions.
How fast is it, I want one I'm 17, by the way I've got an insurance quote for 2000 LOL.
2k? You did well! I'm paying 1.2k on a GT, I'm 20. I've had 141 down a hill, so more like 133ish at a push taking the speedo error out. 60 on the clock can be done in 7.5 seconds. The speed is nothing compared to the torque. My friend has MR2 turbo and it doesn't feel as quick, in 1st and 2nd the car will give you neckache. I'm selling mine?!?! Getting a Golf VR6 hopefully.
Mines is a series one g t with the 137bhp. I'm 22 and the insurance is £789 which is steep, but worth it for a car that can beat any standard boy racer car even cavy turbos up to 90 MPH. Compared to other cars I've had its the fastest, but the handling is terrible standard. I've had to lower mine -40mm and have 17x7 wheels, but the bigger wheels slow the car right down. This means the torque isn't the best, but the series 2 and three have more torque, but less brake horse power. Common problems are the rear radius arms bushes and turbo cutting off when driven hard, but at the end of the day it is a fiat and you have to put up with little problems from time to time.
