| I was looking into these a little while ago, very nice, but servicing and parts costs just silly prices, and if not serviced by dealer or specialist very hard to sell on apparently and rwd = no grip unless it's dry and only 300bhp to play with and any tuning costing a fortune. | |

| Love it Gipa, I was due to buy one but rapid family restructuring changed that, hence me having to settle for a sensible 4 door family saloon. | |

I thought that was Hardy posting for a minute there. You got any pics of the inside and front Gipa - I've got some real car envy going on at the minute.

I'm not bothered about servicing etc as I'm doing it meself I'm not paying Porsche prices ! As for only 300 bhp theres plenty torque there and well enough for a road car lol only thing I'm doing is exhaust I'm not tuning it up it doesn't need it ! Nd me scooby had less grip in the wet !!!! | |

| Looks very nice, especially with that spoiler, what will resale value be like if you service it yourself, has it really got that much grip in the wet, what's insurance like compared to scoobs. | |

| Dont worry about him losing money on the resale Stevie, if the Foz is anything to go by Gipa will have got this for about the same price as a 10yr old Micra. | |

Im not realy bothered about resale value as Kieth says pmsl , it's better handling and grip then my old 500bhp type r with the 10" wide wheels on , and better then the black type r I've just got rid of lol I've got traders insurance so it's exactly the same :-) Couldn't believe it aswell spent £100 in fuel in the type r going there , £80 getting the porka back and I got lost on the way back lol Don't get me wrong il still have a Subaru but just as a full on track drag car :-) | |
