    Shame you couldn't find a decent one mate. Should have bought mine when you had the chance!

    Enjoy the Frenchie!

    Brilliant little cars, I love 'em (apart from the slightly Gorilla-esque driving position).

    That Cup blue is a stunning colour under the right light, little hints of purple.

    Enjoy.

    Can't believe you chopped in the S14 for a Renault! Fair play though mate, looks like it'll be great fun

    Cant believe he chopped in the 13 for a 14 , it's all going down hill fast To think, deacon was once down with the cool kids used to have a dolly and 13 and now a French hot hatch, what's next... a micra convertable? In pink

    Shouldn't worry folks , It's just a phase it'll soon pass.

    He'll get out of it soon muttering " I was never confused, I was never confused "

    And let's face it , at the rate this man goes through cars it's hardly a cause for concern

    I bought one of these brand new back in 2003 and they are a proper little weapon!

    Where are the original Speedline Turini wheels though? Front splitter is missing too

    pro race 1.2's are the choice of the track day driver. Also cheaper tyres. This is a GOOD example. I've known it for a while.

    How come you chopped in the S14 for this?

    I don't think I could ever own a French car again but if I did it would possibly be a 172/182.

    I didnt chop the s14 in for this - the s14 went into the house deposit fund.

    I choped the MG ZS diesel in for this .

    As i said on facebook

    Haters gonna hate, Its not chav its fast, in the corners its the best car ive ever owned ( beating the aw11 hands down)

    its comfortable and i manged 45mpg on the way home - Infact why do i even feel the need to explain its a marmite car if you hate it fine -

    if you know em and love them then you have seen the light - Jekyll and Hyde of a car - this is the best daily ive had so far, once im bored it will be time for another car -

    Things I like

    The MPG
    The Noise
    The comfort
    The amazing handling
    The brakes
    Its Cheap
    The stereo is awesome for a standard setup
    Feels very modern inside - Really nice dash and control layout.
    Its quiet unless ragged
    Quick enough in a straight line

    Cons
    Small in the back
    A bit french with the fit and finish.
    Lack of aircon because its a CUP
    I must admit the pedal feel is awesome but i like abs for when im half alseep and a bit of a flid in traffic and it cuts in so i dont have to think about cadence braking
