The little bugger is a one owner '96 model with 70 000kms on the dial and an engine so clean you could eat your dinner off. 1L EFI 5 speed too, the extra gear is a bit strange to get used to! :D

These radical new cars with their 5-speed gearboxes! Image :lol:

Very tidy mate. :wink:

Those ol' 5-spokers of yours don't come off too badly on it, either... :thumbup2:

Not to mention the odd inclusion of a leather steering wheel as a factory option! :lol:

What promped the decision to aquire another toy?
Also, thought you may have opted for a jappy rsr or something?

I would have bought an RS/X or RS/R, but seeing everyone I know has had nothing but expensive trouble with their imports I opted for the relatively new, low k fuel miser with cheap insurance, thus saving my money for the ute, where it should be spent! :D
Speaking close to home, look at the lengths those with import F5/6A's have had to go to in order to find a head gasket or timing belt. I have enough problems as it is with the snot mobile, I don't need more from a daily driver. ;)

Cost me $80 for third party property insurance and so far I've done 260kms on 1/3 of a tank of fuel. I like those figures! \:D/
