Forget about the looks as looks alone is purely subjective, you never know what market it is aimed at, BUT where does that price tag come from???

Only two things I like about it:
1. Four exhaust pipes 2. If it's made from metal, then we can crush it. ![]()

Happy birthday Yellow Festiva, was going to suggest you blank out your number plates - but then figured there wouldnt be too many of those cars getting around NSW.
As others have said enjoy your birthday present.

That looks ridiculous, I'd sooner take a Grange for half the price that would do the same thing just in a less ugly manner.

for design inspiration get a picture of a car give it to your son with some crayons and then make what he has drawn on there - it seems to be working for bitter.

That Fiat is a Chris Bangle design - he then joined BMW.
The Bitter is up against the German marques, enough said!.

It's got around 140kw / 190hp and will do the 100 in around 6.5-6.8 depending on the site you reference. It is very smooth to drive... turbo kicks in at around 2800 and boy does it push you back into your seat. I have never driven or owned a turbo, but can now see how easy it is to get unstuck... My brother was suggesting bigger wheels / bigger turbo / addition of an intercooler but bugger that, will leave it as is. Cheers, |
