Mark Defo get one if you can afford to insure it and run it. Down side is they're thrusty buggers, mine used to return 120Miles to a 45Ltr tank But mine was super charged so i think the average for these is somewhere around the 200Mile mark. Did you check out the website i posted a link to earlier. There's some great Satria's on there

just wondering, the colt cyborg r... 170bhp from a 1.6 and they gave the gti a 1.8 if i remember with not so much bhp. should of used that engine tbh and it may of been cheaper on insurance. lovely car though!

This was Protons first effort at the hot hatch range and they bought all the old rights from mitsi for their per 95 models so the quick/newer 1.6 that was in the Cyborg was not an option at the time. But as you are begginning to here from a few people other than me now, these cars are highly tunable and adaptable using mitsi parts. I'm tellin you, these things are stonka's and there's gonna be a fair few comming out of the wood work soon so keep your eye's out. Plus the insurance group helps keeping it out of the hands of young chav's

and the bloody indicators are on the wrong side
