gargoil Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Best:-1.Gearbox(one of the best I've driven)2.Looks3.Build Quality(kinda a worst thing as if it wasn't built so together so well it would be much faster) Worst1.Handling (s'pose I'm just used to AWD traction!)2.Performance (sorry i don't like having to dial in mass revs to get the thing to shift, theres nothing like a massive cc or turbo instead of VVT!)3.Lack of tuning parts available(bof!)4th and 5th of my best list are probably ease of parking and the xenon headlights!

AndyW Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Only one downside for me so far, the criminally crap head rests. Upsides, nimble handling, performance, size, design, exhaust, blue dials and zenons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargoil Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 forgot about the headrests, I agree they are crap and don't go up high enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
