"Nice sporty car, but expensive to run and insure"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The windscreen wiper motor had to be replaced... wipers really labored and shuddered on the intermittent setting.

Cigar lighter was blowing the fuse and had to be replaced.

General comments?

This is an ex-demo car, therefore has everything, ABS, Traction Control (turn offable), alloys, 5 CD changer, air con and sat-nav etc etc So can't complain on the features.

Sports suspension takes its toll on long journeys on the motorways.

Really does gulp the unleaded and so is expensive to run and insure (group 14).

You ONLY rated it 7 in performance stakes??? You must be mad!! These cars really shift!!! Easily takes apart vts and the like. They do drink the fuel though and at group insurance 14/15 they cost to run.

Just bought an Abarth. Very quick and smooth, loves drinking petrol tho (worth every penny). My mate who's got a VTS use to leave me in my old 1.6... try it now!!
