R35 GTR
182 turbo has a character of its own. Look like a complete dick when reversing due to paddle clutch biting hard and making a load of noise.
Apart from that its easy. Compared to my 172 ph2 the clutch is easier in traffic. Petrol consumption seems to have improved surprisingly!
I give this car more respect. It gets warmed up before hammering around in it, and idles for a few minutes after every journey. It's only being used to get to work at the moment, which is 1.5 miles away. Cant wait for the weekend.

Willy - Hard to get into gear once cold. Breaks don't really work. Things rattle. When it's hot you open the window (Manual AC) and then you get the fumes...It's crashy.... f**king love it.
172 - Was bit rough in the mornings...4 pots didn't work till they'd done 2 or 3 stops. Was comfyish with the coils...
new car....Lol...We'll see.Comfy ain't quite a word i'd use.

Your car sounds ace!
Lol, i love it
A red missile
The ride can be harsh in a Trophy on bad surfaces but its a riot in the twisties, had it nearly 2 years now and still loving it. Impractical as hell though, rear seats are as good as useless and i'm always smacking my head on the boot becuase it doesn't open far enough, but if i'd wanted practical i'd have bought a mondeo :quiet:
Only real problem i've had is the good old engine temperature sensor going apeshit a couple of times, last time was when i'd just hit 3 figures on the M1 - I wasn't pleased.

where do i start...
the exhaust is extremely loud
the ride is VERY stiff and harsh
its that low it catches everything (had to raise it because the bumper was catching dips and bumps in the road!)
its gutless before 3k so you need to kick its nuts in everywhere you go (back to the exhaust thing!)
and the worst part, its sooo fun to drive so wastes all my petrol!

Mk4 .:R32
My mates cooper s does that. He's got a decent aftermarket exhaust, decat and upgraded manifold. I walked past it the other day and he revved it, I think he perforated my ear drums...
Clio v6 & Atom 300
255's are very easy to drive and live with.:approve:
Climate control.
Cruise control.
PAS.
ABS.
Plenty of low down torque.
Loads of grip.
Lovely 6 speed gearbox.
Bearable stereo
Sounds sweet!
Looks mad! :evil:
Its just a bit un-economical, small, and has poor steering lock. A small price to pay!

It rattles and creaks like mad and the suspension in all four corners is screwed. I don't care though, it always starts and goes first time so it's all good.
The clutch is heavy and the accelerator pedal is stiff, quickly got used to that though. It's quite good on fuel. Town driving and hard nsl driving still returns high 30's mpg. Steering lock could be better, but you get used to the constant 7-point turns.

Mine's a right pain in the arse.
Bucket seats & Harnesses mean its hard work getting in and out of, stripped out rear so shopping goes flying allover when it's in the back.
Had 17's on for about a year and you could feel every pebble on the road! Just got some lightweight 16s and the car feels a lot smoother.
And thats just the start :clown:
Mk1 RT by the way.
