Lovely car, good luck selling it. I can't help but want one of these next, incredibly cheap and still look far better than anything available for the same cost/spec.

A question for you regarding the Falken FK452's, how many miles did you get out of the fronts before needing to be replaced? I'm looking at some new boots for the Renault and whilst the Toyo's that are on it now are fantastic they simply do not last long enough for my liking and I've heard good things about these Falkens, mainly that they last longer!

Plenty of grip but probably a little soft considering the weight of the car. I massaged 18,000 miles out of the fronts but that was probably pushing it... In fact the last 1,000 miles probably killed them and they should have been changed slightly sooner.

Rears are still doing well with 19k+ on them

Well it's finally dead and on the bay of e listed as spares or repair.

It succumbed to the dreaded HG failure (which I think was probably caused by the water pump failing)and has been replaced by a Mazda 6 2.2 Sport.

Seems to be a bit of interest in it (possibly due to the interior/projector headlights + the HK stereo) so hopefully it'll get me a bit of cash back!

Was a nice car - served me well and I would recommend it.
