Im going to get one..
Discussion
Hi
I was looking to buy an MR2 when I eventually get back from Saudi but after looking into the VX 220 I've changed me mind. Now I want the yellow VX lightning with the black wheels.. Anyway, a few questions for the learned and all answers gratefully received:
1: Insurance? What are you paying in insurance? I've had a clean licence for 10 years and aged 44 so hopefully not too bad. Is the car fitted with a good alarm as standard?
2: Running costs. I assume the engine bits (filters, belts) are not too dear as the lumps come from a standard Vauxhall originally? I heard the brake pads were exorbitant, is there an alternative etc.
3: Any recalls or defects showing up over time? Are the engines reliable? Is the chassis ok over time?
4: Can you get a hard top for the winter months? If so how much?
5: Is the Turbo or the 2.2 considered the better choice (imagine it's difficult to be impartial)
Cheers for any assistance
Regards
