It's pretty torquey your engine, at higher speeds (past about 70-80mph) where wind resistance and such come into play, I start losing ground to heavier but more powerful stuff like your car and Westy's Saab. No problem at lower speeds though
Yeah mate wasn't having a dig at your car! Simply saying people assume 1.4 Fiat = lolwagon.
Yeah I've never offered rides and just assumed people would rather spend time in the Evo's, E55's and S3's we've had at meets, anyones free for a ride and poke about. Certainly value for money has been good though. I'm looking to sell mine for about £6.5k-£7k in the summer and only paid £8k. So that will mean it will have lost about £1.5k in 20months.
Insurance group 10 has helped with me only being 20, quicker than a GTi yet only £480 to insure for this year. In straight line I was slightly quicker than the latest Type R as well but in the corners he had me cause of my ditchfinder tyres.
Not had any reliability issues with mine, only warrenty work I've had done was the gearstick had the logo facing the wrong way but I bought it like that. Mums has had no work done to it and we've put about 10k on both cars.
