Ive had 2.
They are import only, 130bhp standard with a pointless hi/ lo boost button which reduces power to about 115bhp.
Very tunable cars with a few owners kicking out around 200bhp.
Beware of some automatics which are worth a lot less.
Interiors are typical cheap jap plastics but its functional. Standard seats lack support and standard suspension can roll a bit. That said one of mine was lowered and it made the car struggle for grip on bumpy roads.
I imported both mine myself for around £3200 each in 2008, good ones are still selling for that now.

I much prefer the older GT Turbo (regular lights), though I'm sure there are many who will prefer the quad lights (second pic). Insurance is rather high on all of them. There is the Glanza S which is a non-turbo and more insurance friendly. It's a real shame that so many people are crashing these.
