Silver dream machine.. This must be one of the most over-looked, and under-rated GTi's out there, and yet as they
approach ten years old, they're coming into their own, as they've got to be better built that any French stuff, and more loaded than almost everything else. I think there was a 1.6 SR too, if, well, you're nuts.

It only it looked as good as it went...

I got bored of the Renault and bought this off a colleague. And I love it! Power steering, slick gearbox, electric sunroof, windows & mirrors,
reasonably fat (but slightly scabby) alloys and more lights on the front than I could ever need.

And 140 ish bhp. Cool.

It just looks, well a bit ugly. The front overhang is too long, and the bonnetline too high.
And there's always the knowledge that the GTi-R has an extra 60 brake
and 4wd. But then you can't get one of those on shed money! (And I know for a fact they can cost a mint to run..)

Ratings:
Age (max 1)		- not even into double figures..
Decay (max 2)		- Teeny bit of rust.. but mostly electrical - slow drivers window and screwy central locking..
Impracticality (max 1)		- I only got 180 miles out of the last tankful, but at the end of the day it's a modern hatch. DULL.
Toys (max 1)		- pretty loaded, i guess. (including illuminated goldfish bowl above..)
"Oomph" (max 1)		- pretty quick, kept up with a modern BMW Cooper S last month, sub 8sec 0-60
Deductions		- by quirky reverse logic, ugly is cool at shedtastic, so no deductions for that. But it is too new..
Total:		-
