They kill gearboxes and clutches.
225bhp and 4wd
imo one of the best hatches ever for power, but things can get trickky when things break.
...and most people think they are ugly

starlets are a no, theres quite a few of them around this neck of the woods too,
and AK no not tesco on a pulsar as they wont insure imports, but it gets the point across,
insurance is fine...!
