Greetings, Citizens.
Mrs. Gaz was looking for something a little quicker than her 18 year old Panda (not difficult) so we have just purchased this..
It's quite fun in a small bouncy kind of way, it does need to be ragged to get it to go anywhere, but with a 6 speed close ratio box it doesn't shift too badly considering it's only got 1.4 litres to play with.
The plan is this will be my going to work car (Mrs. Gaz walks to work) and TBH it does the job OK. It's turning in around 32 to the gallon on my short commute, which is a lot better than the 17 I get out of the SLK..
Cheers,
Gaz
