cheap to run, good power, quicker than a corsa. handle very well.

pugs are as good as any car when looked after. There are a few people on the members clubs with 180,000k +

as long as it has service history and looked after i would happily buy a 100k one.

With breathing mods they can get 140bhp and weight nothing, so would give a standard C20xe conversion a run for its money

Park up, engine on, clutch down, 3rd gear, gently lift clutch and listen for knocking from the bottom of the engine.
