Anyone have one? What are they like to live with?

I'm selling up & getting one so I can save up a deposit for a house a little quicker.

MPG?

I see you can get a decent SXi on a 04 plate with 30k on the clock 3.5K.

Thanks

Oh, and are they ok to run on veg oil? say 50/50...

PLease show me where you can get a SXi on an 04 plate with 35k for 3.5k

Hopefully JR is bringing his to the SE meet tomorrow, I'm thinking of investing in one as well.

I drove one a couple of times when I worked for Vauxhall. Thought it was great fun around town. Nippy enough too. Be great with a tuning box on one.

Horrible power delivery, slow, feel really tired compared to same mileage petrol models, noisy, dual mass flywheels can be costly when they go fucked.

I know they can be run on a shoestring but I really hate driving them.

Nah just my opinion, I drive way too many Vauxhalls and it just makes me hate them.
