Jezza rated them in his top 10 so they must be ok!

quite fancy it as the bird's runaround. Hmm, lack of back seats renders it just as impractical as the Liz though. You see, the Bird's runaround must have room for my golf sticks

I was actually thinking of an old civic type r tbh paul. clio Trophy's are just too thin on the ground for that to be an option

Sound great but not that quick.
MK1 was known as the Spinning top

I really like it, it sounds great from inside (very hard to describe unless you`ve been in it, you can
tell the engine is too big for the car from the noise it makes) and handles well - as long as its dry.
The only reason I can think they have some sort of "reputation" for handling being edgy is that if you do lose it, it loses it VERY quick - but to do that in the dry you`d have to be taking the piss. Guess its the short wheelbase. Anytime I drive it in the wet, I drive same way as I would the exige in the wet and have had no problems. Ride quality is amazing, really comfy and doesnt "feel" like a clio.
Bro is fancying something else (not sure what, changes every day
) so is "testing the water". Pretty rare, so should shift OK esp at £10k.

Golf weapons fit no problem on top of the engine

They were way overpriced compared to the 172, which was only slightly slower and always rated as a better driver's car. They look mad though

Yup. Anyone who paid over £25k for one initially needs help. I would never buy a 172, but would a vee, the noise and feeling is pretty cool.
Means now they hold their value very well and you never see them on the road (I have only ever seen 3 incl bros since they were released).
