A friend of mine had one. Wasn't that quick I though. Couldn't get past my 1.6 until about 110.

Handled a bit crashy, probably the suspension it had.

He crashed it into a tree after owning it for 4 hours. No insurance either, the silly sausage.

When did you wake up?

These are light enough to give a 20xe trouble up to 100!

Quick, handel well, will die if crashed, all the points that make a decent hot hatch.

Can pick up nice examples for under a grand. Not much at that price will touch it for speed.

My mate brought a minter for £400 and its not much slower than my 172

its a good alternative to a pug / saxo gti.
In actual fact the top end is better than them, the 0-60 is close and will stick just behind a 106. As i have owned both and tested this.
There is no air bag in the steering wheel tho oh and the wings are plastics but other than that its fine.
Plus i would say they have more modding potential than a 106 saxo as it has the better higher end so any performance mods should benefit more.
