tbh i have never really liked them but in the past month or so i have seen a few nice examples around and have turned to liking them......
i know what you mean about the 'fast and furious' style ones, but lowered and a nice set of rims and i think i would be onto a winner!
v-tech yo........

i heard the engines are bullet proof as long as they have been looked after
mine ad a bit of rust on the rear quarters where the bumpers go which is also common other then that i think just look for normal things that ud look for on any car
hope this helps

Sort of. V-Tech kicks in a 5k and pulls all the way round to the limiter. Now V-Tech and a Turbo together now thats a different story
