As above.
What are they like reliability wise??
What would you recommend be changed straight away??
What should you look out for to get the best deal on one??
Can you get a decent one for around £3000-£4000???
Anything els e you can think I would need to know??
Cheers,
Sean.

Yeah, was looking at the older shape though, not the new shape.
The 1.4 GT....got some speed and with skirts, nice wheels and a good dropping would look mint.

The thing that lets them down for me is that they look quite big and the interior aint the nicest in the world.

Yeah but the handling problem would be sorted by me anyone with a big drop on some decent wheels with a full suspension kit/coilovers and would be modestly kitted up.
I like the idea of speed as standard so I can focus on looks.

2 of my mates have got em and they just seem to keep on having no end of problems with them. One guy has probably spent 2k in the last 2 years and the other guy 1k all in repairs.
They are both the older style ones but personally I prefer the newer style ones.
