A fun little metallic grey box with a clean, comfy interior and none of the doodads and screens that modern cars are infested with. Four cylinders, five manually shifted forward gears and working stereo and aircon are about as advanced as it gets. At 980kg / 2180lb its nice and lightweight for a five-door hatch, too, and surprisingly roomy inside.

Current Mods:
Basic clean car; lighter factory alloy wheels, 185 width tyres, spare replaced with plug kit & hand pump, no excess exterior add-ons, engine flushed & treated with Nulon E20 teflon additive, gearbox given a synthetic oil and again a Nulon teflon treatment. Factory air intake system unmodified except for fresh air filter. Tyre pressures at maximum load rating (45psi) and shock absorbers in good condition, mildly adjusted for a moderately lower ride height. Factory front lip retained.
Planned Mods:
Looking to do a bit but nothing major. A passenger side-mirror delete is on the cards.
