I loved mine till the rocker cover went. Wish i hadnt sold it and xe'd it as a track slag
Good start, means your not likely to bin it (less likely anyway)

Urm...I think mine with a passenger was 0-60 in 21 seconds (now used to low 7's) so i'd say yes its slow.
Good for 6 months - A year or so.
You'll find yourself ragging it to keep up with traffic meaning mpg will be low.
But like i said less speed = less chance of binning it.

I had a 1.2 8v 5speed, bulletproof engines but painfully slow. Mine topped out at 87mph
The four speed ones are much better imo.

I spent more time filling up oil rather than petrol. Stem seals were going, sold it on 124,000 for £300 to a mate, she sold it on 157,000 and now some trollop near me owns it a year on

Thing is that took about 3 or 4 minutes to get fast
nowadays...to 100 can be done in well under 20 seconds. Although looking back am glad i had that as a first car.
