General Comments:
Excellent all round car.
Very quick off the mark, can keep up with the best of cars I find.
Has been lowered an extra 25 mil, and I would seriously recommend this if you can put up with the hard ride.
Performance wise: 0-60 in around 11 seconds. Top speed of 120 MPH flat out.
Have fitted a K&N air filter, slight performance improvement, but nothing to write home about. Sounds good though when you hit 4000 RPM.
Interior is a very cool blue.
Dash board is the new type, and looks much smarter than the older.
Great driving position and I love the white speed and RPM dials.
Very economical & surprisingly cheap to insure for the younger ages. I recommend CIS Insurance. Also its the cheap tax remember.
Very hard to find car now-days, and parts can be difficult to find also. Most parts are snapped up very quickly.
Overall a very good performance and cheap car to drive.
One thing though is the brakes are absolutely terrible. So for the young inexperienced drivers, be aware and be very careful.
Don't let that put you off though. You can thrash the pants off the Fiesta XR2's if you want to. Haven't raced the Citroen yet, but I'm sure I leave one of them standing also!

Would have thought it would be quicker than 11 seconds 0-60mph. I personally would have said closer to 10 easily. They are quick cars - not too sure about the 120mph though mate!
