    So not slow to respond on up/down shifts or anything like that?

    It seems like exactly what I want from a car right now I'm not a fan of the styling at all but it just seems like a little go kart for the road... A convertible go kart with heated seats, and air con

    Nice choice Gar, having recently driven one they're fantastic cars. Excellent pin sharp handling from the standard suspension makes for über fun B road hooning and perfect cruiser on the motorway. Performance wise I found there to be very little in them between 197 & 231bhp however 231's are slightly better spec'd running gear.
