Great fast little car with cheap insurance for what it is. Has the ability to pull away from lots of more expensive cars with larger engines.
The handling of this car is amazing as well. I can take local corners the same speed in this with virtually no roll, as I would in my previous car, when losing the rear end.

Just bought the SRi two days ago. Yesterday I raced an 180BHP P-Reg Escort and I'm sorry to say, I completely blew him into the hedge. This car is VERY quick for what it is, and damn cheap to insure, especially for someone without a no claims bonus and only been driving a year. Wolf in sheeps clothing is an understatement... if you see one for sale, don't dog it 'till you try it.
A brilliant car, I ran one for 5 years, managed to exceed the speed limits (where safe) and never got caught!
