Everything is currently fine with the car.
The car I own has the optional 146ti body kit with GTV alloys. Which is very low to the ground resulting in having to take speed bumps at virtual standstill! Any faster will result in hitting the front splitter and damaging the fogs.
On the straight though the car is very fast and makes an amazing noise when in the high revs.
Only slight problem is the relatively high driving position although the Momo leather seats are more than enough to compensate for this minor niggle.
I have been challenged by various cars at the lights! These include Audi TT, BMW 330is and Subaru Impreza turbos!
For a car costing under 5k it's a bargain which gains respect on the road that no ford or vauxhall could!
I think this comment is absolutely true. What a car!!!
I have owned a couple of these cars and they are pretty quick... But I think the BMW 330Ci and Impreza drivers were asleep if you beat them..
