However they do look lovely in Impreial Blue, and thats the only colour I'd go for!

Yes thats a nice colour, it would be between that or silver.
Wouldnt get another black car for a while, and the red looks rubbish!

My mate has a red 02 reg one, and the other has a silver Y reg one.
Neither have had any problems, and the Y reg one has been driven 40K in the last 2 years.
I can keep up with them to 80mph in my 1.4 16V Corsa though.
Nice all round car though.
Oh and one common fault with them, that I have seen on many is that the steering wheels have a coloured section on them. Some are blue some are black depedning on colour. This tends to wear off quite easily. Seen a 52 reg one with 20k on the clock and it had already started wearing on this.

I like the look of the 106 gti leather and alcantara. The dash is a bit gay, but you expect that from a french car.
172 would be lovely but insurance might be a problem for you.
106 would poop all over the Z-S
120bhp
0-60 7.4
128mph
Doesnt take a lot to get them to 140-150bhp either.
They are not for everyone though, and need ragging to get the best out of them.

Nah, no problems so far. Because of the fact that they are reasonably low tuned for a 1.6 (only around 105 Bhp) i think this makes them more reliable...if you see what i mean.
