I've been the owner of this car for a little over a year now, and I must say it is a pretty neat car to drive. The d16y7 motor only puts out around 107hp stock, but with the upgrades I have, I'd say it's more around 125-130. Since the car is so light, with no power steering or air conditioning to slow it down, it accelerates is quite good, as well as the braking. The handling is good as well with the Tein lowering spring i put in. The car looks great too, with the HIDs and 15inch rims. You can't go wrong with the gas mileage either. It takes about 20 dollars to fill my tank, depending on the price of gas of course. It's an overall fun car to drive, and I would recommend it if you get one in good condition.

20k miles done in a year with just an oil/brake pads/wipers change. No brakedowns or other surprises. Just went through NCT (Irish National Car Test - has to be done every 2 years) recently without any problems. All it costs me is petrol really, and it's not a lot neither because it needs around 7.7l for 100km (30.5mpg). Acceleration is not bad, could be better of course, but as for 1.4l engine (90HP) it's really fine. Handling is brilliant as for this class of car. I love driving it, after a year it's still fun!

great car would def recomend brilliant handeling, sticks to the road n v-t.e.c roars
