I like them very much...
as a bonus (well, some might disagree), they came with this...
Loads of relatively new car for very little money, thrilled to bits with it. Drove from Stoke back to Wiltshire today, MWay munching was way better than expected, but when I finally got off the M4 and came down through the lanes it was an absolute blast, I'm still grinning about it now.
Pulls much, much better than the 8.9sec to 60 suggests, brakes are comically over-specced (for homologation purposes, I presume) for a car weighing well into the right side of 1000kg. I'm not a 'top speed' kind of a guy, all my fun comes in the 40-60 range around the fantastic roads we have here, and so far it's delivering in spades, far too early to say, but feels like it's one of those cars that will even make the daily commute quite enjoyable.
Pics are as I got home, so nothing touched yet. Tomorrow the flaps are coming off, tidying up a few bits and pieces (reattaching number plates, a few touch ups etc), shortening the aerial, removing the audio install and stripping the rear out and installing a net for the more practical moments.
Long term (holiday is next on the agenda) the plans are fairly modest, whiteline anti roll bar, H&Rs, another set of OEM wheels (and the current ones off for a refurb, possibly grey, undecided yet), all good fun. Anything above that gets staggeringly expensive, all the good parts are Suzuki Motorsport items for the rally cars, and as there are so few cars in the UK it's all import from Japan.
I couldn't leave this post without mentioning the looks, lets just say you quickly develop a thick skin owning one of these. As the other half said though, once you're in it you forget what the outside looks like because it's so fun being in it (and trust me, she hates the look of it).
