20MPG is too little, I'm working off the fact this car will do 35MPG...

think of the pussy you would get driving around in a JDM FN2. your parents would think its an awsome car sitting outside their house. people will want to be friends with your parents. your parents get more pussy. your dig money goes down and they will move you into the master bedroom.
everyones happy.
get the loan.

pow you are such a tight arse. you won't pay £14.99 for a fucking phone charger and don't want to shell out a bit more on running costs.
you're worse than me
at least i had some fun in a proper turbo car. and by proper i mean, 20mpg, high insurance, new tyres every 6k miles etc etc

Colin normally I'd agree with you, but, I don't smoke or drink or do drugs and I'm just thinking "I only live once!"
I'm sure you've put more than I've put into cars in your youth?

You must earn 1.5-2 times what I do though
Sometimes I feel having a unique opinion on here (not a GSi kit and speedlines, not a V8 onmonmonmon machine) is frowned apon! It's stupid, I have my own mind, I can think about what I like and what I dont!

i like opinions, it creates a debate which is what a web forum is for.
if you can think about what you do and don't like then do so, but i'd personally say get a different car, something with a bigger engine and turbo.
all depends what you want.
i just like owning different cars otherwise i'd end up comparing the two models, what one has better luxuries, seats, alloys etc etc

Out of 3 pages of cusses, this is by far the worse, that'd make me go buy a 5mpg guzzling monster immediately
So many cars you can get for less and they're a much better car, ffs you're what 20 years old?
