they are ok, wouldnt say they were that quick, a standard 106gti is faster, although the 105 is terrible lol

Good budget cars, they have a bad image which I must say I was guitly of judging one on.

A friend of mine bought one as a winter run around for not even 2k from an auction and after beeing out in it I got to say I was every so slightly impressed and it went round corners too

we're not american, the word is standard, not stock

we used to have 2 ZR 160s as company cars at work, never had the oppurtunity to drive one.

mate of mine had a 105 and it was shocking, they say some cars are made on a friday afternoon, this was made on a friday night when everyone was pissed. never known a car to do more oil than petrol!
