Hugely overpriced!
Dealers must be making ££££'s selling these cars to impressionable young men.

Looking at the more expensive Glanza's do you honestly believe these 10-12 years old supermini's are worth £5000?

Also get the electric turbocharger from ebay so that it's a Twin Turbo That would take power to 250+bhp!

Had mine about month and a half now. It's ace i love it really does surprise people when it goes. Like people in other cars thinking ive put a body kit on my mum's micra.
After some wheels and a decent suspension set up it will be much better.
www.ukstarletclub.co.uk
www.toyotagtturbo.co.uk
Are both good.
