Overall fast as fuck but hard to get parts for, can be quite expensive to keep unless you get a real minter! Go for a few grand i think, two down this way. Pocket rockets which surprise alot of other modders.

As it runs a 1300 yes, obviously not if you compare it to a 2l turbo. For what they are i think they go pretty quick.

Standard they are marginally slower than an XE corsa, but iirc they have a boost limit in 1st and 2nd?

Working for Toyota and being in & around my mates one, id say they're decent cars for what they are, very fast for what they are, we raced my other mate in hes 2.0litre turbo Touring limited edition Astra and was neck & neck all they way. Parts arent too bad to get hold main dealers can 99.9% of the time get you what ever you need, its just a tad more expensive.
They are expensive for what they are, but its worth paying as much as you can for one, my mate paid 3,000 for he's from an Import Car Specialist, and boy oh boy! lets just say he had to phone trading standards because so much shit went wrong with it, so make sure you give it a decent check over as some have been ragged to phuck.
BTW Insurance isnt too bad, he got he's when he just turned 18, think he paid 2,300-2,500 fully comp in he's own name.
Hope ive helped you mate

I just sold my one the other week.. It was cheaper to insure than my vectra runaround for some strange reason.
They go pretty well for what they are but nothing that special..
