Cool little car, are you going to pimp it up? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Here is a picture I took of one at GTI international a few years ago (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

How is it £35 a yr tax? I thought it was the same for every car in the UK and up north?

It depends on emissions after 2001, the lower the emissions the less tax you pay, the bluemotion is zero tax (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

75bhp won't be bad in her, sure they are aluminium aren't they? be a lot lighter than a golf..

I like them, haven't they got a sub chassis, a big gap under the floor, supposed to be a fairly strong chassis AFAIK?

A well made wee car, with bags of legroom, small boot though

we had one of them a few years back in silver as well, 1.4 petrol though, nice car to drive and very economical.
underbonnet space is very poor on them though, even an oil change was an ordeal!
