Daihatsu Charade GTti.

1litre, three clynder, twin cam, 12 valve, Turbo, Intercooler...

Was a right little rocket, would sit spinning the wheels bouncing off the rev limiter just about all day if required

Handled like a boat in comparison

Another scooby of course!
But before that it was a terrific Corrado VR6, fantastic 3lt motor and build quality that would shame a Subaru. It handled well too for a FWD car. AND it did 35 to the gallon!
