My wife had 4 of them. The 2 Seaters.
First ones was 600cc, then 700cc, then 1000cc.
Lovely cars, had no hassles. But here by 90 000km they start using oil.
If you can, make sure its the Turbo.
The last ones only came out in non Turbo. 2011 until now. Only the Cabriolet model still had Turbo in these last years. Drive both if you can.
Turbo ones are very nippy, 64kw and the car only weighs around 700kg.
Non turbo is 52kw.
Gear changes are a bit slow. There is a delay when changing gears. Its actually a Manual gearbox with only a automatic clutch. So the second or two it takes to change a manual car, you get in these even though its an "auto"
16km per litre in town.
Get around 512km on the 32litre tank
Topspeed limited at 140kph.
With the short wheelbase, its a VERY bumpy ride!! But awesome car indeed.
Their secondhand value is almost nothing. So beware, what you pay you wont get back after a year
Get the 1000cc at least. Stay away from the 600 and 700cc. Also stay away if mileage is above 50 000km.
Going rate for these are around R90 000-R110 000.
