Looks infinitely better with Tint, Rear Spoiler, Alloy Wheels and Xenon Lights.
Plastic interior, things rattle sometimes.
And can't expect too much performance from a car that cost AUS $16000.

Pros — Cheap, Low Running Cost, Good for learner drivers
Cons — It has attributes of AUS $16000 car.

I don't really want to enter a longer review. I think the other sections cover this pretty well. Damn.

Pros — Quiet, decent handling, teeny tiny so it's great for parking.
Cons — hydroplanes like a mofo, made out of aluminum foil. Very low HP, little giddyap.

When the car is running...it runs great. When it breaks down...it's a nightmare!!

Cons — Repairs are too pricey. You can't find parts at your local parts store. EVERYTHING is a "special order"  Too much hassle.
