What are people opinions on them? are they quick or not? reliable? economical?

Just looking and they seem to be around 10-12k now and their not too bad to insure

anything that ever goes wrong with them?

212 bhp standard, so not that quick, but get it remapped or even just a de-cat and it makes a big difference.
They handle brilliantly though. Had a good race against a boxster accross the backroads one day.

There ok cars. My old man has owned one from new. Pics are in my garage.

They torque steer abit on the road, But they are ment to be a good track car handleing wise.

Performance wise a decent valver corsa will be faster than one in a straight line

I never found torque steer an issue. But maybe thats cos i was always clinging onto the wheel for dear life anyway

It's not a rocket. Bear in mind my dads 49 years old.

My dad is 55, so there

Saying that, whenever i drove the car it was on relatively smooth, uncambered roads.

Considering it, the novelty of it being a new car has worn off, warranty means i cant really do anything to it and its just nothing special

Ive been looking at Abarth 500's and grande's but platts are wank and havent got back to me

whys that?
my old man bought a v8 range rover off them about 2 years ago now and it hasnt had 1 problem, they have always been very helpful and friendly but saying that like i say it was about 2 years ago when i last spoke to/had anything to do with anyone from there,
why do they have such a bad rep? i only go every now and then to have a little scout about at some of the cars, they seem to have a lot of top end cars in now tho,

I like them, not as keen on the interior as some but I do like it.

I saw one change hands for 5.5k not so long ago

Most are still asking lots for them though. You should get a good deal on one with folk trading up to the mk2 RS (once they decide to make them!)
