Well I picked it up last night on the trailer behind my hideously uneconomical Landcruiser! (18mpg towing)
Got it home & have been having a good poke round, its seems much better than I was expecting! Its quite clean straight & very tidy. Only issues spotted are some bleed on the charge/assist LCD display & the rear shocks need sorting ASAP.
First impressions, It's massively noisier than the Lupo!!! You'd think the Lupo was electric compared to this
& yes the Lupo is of course a diesel.
The insight feels like a much lighter car (not that it is) it's crash'ier over the bumps & there seems not a lot suspension of travel, it's more like one of my old race cars lol. Still it goes quite well, it being a JDM one the trip meter in KM/L is obviously wrong as its had a KMH to MPH speedo conversion done, so that's on my list to sort out & get rid of the stupid aftermarket immobiliser thats been fitted.
So here are two rare eco cars side by side, next job a full clean & see what we've got
