Ginner Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 the engine note is pretty impressive, isn`t a scream/screech, it`s very addictive Sounded like a Dyson when I test drove one. Mind you, the VAG 1.8T ain't much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ sheffield Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Its a shame you need the RAC following you with Alfa's. There 147 gta looks better than all the cars mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of the offset number plate.... destroys the aesthetics of the frontend completely IMO. Well maybe not completely, but you know what I mean. Plus, 250BHP through front wheel drive with no diff is starting to ask for trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ sheffield Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 The Nissan Pulsar out performs the cars mentioned but its hard to get a decent one nowadays. They dont look like much but they handle very well and are also extremely tuneable. Mind you the group 19 insurance is off putting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernStar Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I rented one of these cars a few years back for 3 days and I really didn't want to give it back, it was a great car. On fuel economy it had a gauge on the dash to inform you how economical you were driving; this would I suppose help you if economy is an issue, but of course doesn't stop you from putting your foot down when the notion takes you. There were a few minor things I didn't like, like the rear view was split by the rear spoiler just at the level to prevent you seeing the faces of the people in the car behind, no good for looking at the pretty woman behind you at the traffic lights or seeing the narky tailgater's face when you slow down (winding those types up never gets boring:hihi:). It was a little gimmicky with pointless stuff like a big red button used for starting the engine though I did quite like the needlessly stylish stainless steel foot pedals. I'd love to own a civic all in all a splendid car IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
