My NA 1.8 is the S version and i have to say it’s brilliant, even if i am a little biased[:)]

Highlights? well i never tire of watching the power aerial go up and down in the offside wing mirror[:D] The power windows are super quick(i can sit there all day watching them go up and down too!) as well as the lovely power steering, that ABS sure comes in handy in tight traffic!!!

And the scuff plates are lovely and shiny, and it’s a nippy car too, and the cute little power mirrors, and the lovely leather steering wheel, i could go on and on but i won’t!

 

Enjoy the car!
