They are absolute crap. The drivers seat is nice.. sadly it stops about there. Slow as turds, and handle appallingly!
And yes I've driven enough of them

Sorry got to argue with that ^^^
Theyve never been slow and they handle great for an old standard car!
This is my pretty much standard one below

Go wrong my ass!
Mine was still going on the original turbo at 140k and no probs.
Worst i had was water pump went and many miles of "fun" trouble-free motoring.
