The rareness of it.
The noise it makes.
The colour of it.

Hate,
the fact that it could be a lot lot quicker.
Crappy (and quite frankly) embarrasing turning circle.
The fact that front splitter is so low, so it scrapes all the time.
The interiors not that great.

  A Flamin' Red one
Love
The colour of it
The noise of it (Simota FTW!)
The rarity of it
Catching people rubber-necking out of the corner of my eye as I blast past them
Most of all though (at the moment) working at a college which is full of wonder boy racers in their boddy-kitted 1.2s and driving past them as they congregate!

Hate

Watching the fuel needle drop
Wondering if that noise I just heard was a new rattle or not!

Around my way mate they're a rare car. Admitedly there are three, possibly four others but it's a young area with lots of schools and colleges so as I said, boddy-kitted 1.2s are rife! Biggest 'competition' I've come across is a Focus ST...

The potential mods
Making a car unique

Hate:
Insurance to high
Want a 1*2
The cost of a car
