I purchased my car new the last day of march 2004 .and from the time of collection I have not looked back on the purchase.The test drive and ordering a week prior was very well organised being allowed to take the car for an hour with my wife on our own so we both could try out the little beast. I had chosen the sport model as I still wanted pleasure from driving a smaller car. I have not been dis appointed small speedy and economical .The sport model comes ready fitted with recaro front seats white dials turning blue when lights are on and a trip computor systemn telling time of journey km per hr average and time. The car is compact but well fitted trim and plenty of storage areas.The boot cover is the only flimsy dis appointment being made only of a netting, but it does hide from view the boots contents.service intervals are 9000miles and are mainly inspection based changeing oils plugs as reqd.driving is fun and the feel of the wheel on corners is great, acceleration superb and the engine is as its name suggests sporty .In deed .It appears well made, no rattles the ride on the sport a bit bumpy but it does have tightened lowered sports suspension so was expected.all in all penny for penny a bargain 0-62 faster than a 2 ltr subaru? brakes more than adequate 14 inch discs all round and a body style not out of place on the track or in town a good solid feel at all times.abs and brake assist as standard with the aircon and electric windows .I am well pleased and would recommend this car to anyone.
