Better in what way? Luxury and comfort yes, but performance? Unlikely. The car has clearly been built with performance in mind and is being sold as that.

Better - yes(define better)

Quicker - no


Someone who wants a small fast car will buy this, no one else. You're not after a small quick car though, therefor you can get a better car.

better at what exactly? i suppose being a honda driver all you are interested in is ricer flyby's in council estates so you probably already have a better car for that.

I think half the problem is it's a car that needs somebody who knows what they're doing, and alot of people who know what they're doing build their own cars rather than take somebody elses work.

I'd love to buy it for shits and giggles, but as soon as it broke it's no use to me as I wouldn't have a clue how to fix it.

That's where it's a car with a very very small market and people think it's not worth the money.

Me personally, it's still an old Corsa with an old engine, but that's my opinion.

I wouldn't buy this if i wanted a small quick car, i think someone who buys it will be looking to compete and no doubt will need deep pockets to maintain.

I'd much rather a charged EP3 for the same money but that's just me.

but it would be vastly slower. and also again, deep pockets to maintain.

thats a very very flawed statement.

I am after a small quick hot hatch with seats and cd player and doors yes... So i own a ctr... So as said it doesnt appeal to me.

Not at all, they don't require maintaining in any other way to a standard CTR other than the charger oil change every 30 odd thousand miles i think it is.

So it's not flawed

Look at the headlight gaps... Maybe its the bonnet making them worse. The car is good at going fast... Thats it

He has already mentioned that it's fibreglass though. I'm yet to see any aftermarket bonnet that fits properly.

the bumper is cut to get air in to parts that need it. its a tight crampt engine bay. with a show smoothed bumper it would struggle to make the power and keep inlet temps down.

since when has it been a show car? you are just making stuff up now john.
