Perhaps my next car! BTW..the 12,.0 time was a misprint. The 1/4 mile should have been 13.0 seconds.

I think I just wet myself

Jamdown Oct 16, 2003 08:44 AM

bah...nice but not 40K nice

EvoJimbo Oct 16, 2003 08:46 AM

What about the one with the Type R engine????

Quickshift Oct 16, 2003 08:48 AM

She is a sexy small car. To small for my tastes.But rely nice ride i am sure, untill you get sideswiped . American drivers scare the **** out of me everyday (drive a truck all day long).

Wish the one pic I took of the rather spartan interior came out.

I saw one. a dealership in Columbus has one as a demo for the people who have one on order. Ill post pics when my home internet is back up.

The one i saw is blue w/ blue interior.

When the guy driving it got on the gas, I wasn't as impressed as I thought i would be, but it is pretty light so it will probably be pretty quick.

Lan Evo Oct 16, 2003 12:04 PM

I like this a lot, not the fastest or the most refined; however, I think this is sport car in the purest form....

The One with a Type-R engine is converted by Sun-International, not an official import model.

nice car, although a tad girly, I'd still get an evo, save about 10k and I got 4 doors and a better looking/faster car (after mods), come on now elise? now doesnt that sound girly?

bobaab Oct 17, 2003 03:07 AM

i love this car, and it's worth every penny of that 40k. others may be like blah, evo's better. but i think you should see this car in action. even though i havent driven one, it's like a street legal go-kart in the sense that is handles so well :) i wish i had 40k right now.. :D
