selling the scoob at the moment and been looking at some of these.

just wondering if anyone has any experience of going from or to.

things like common faults, servicing and running costs, ease of sourcing parts would be especially usefull.

BTW, I know preformance isn't going to be like scooby, but just as a car.

cheers

Tyre's last ages.

The GPX is the top model with 197bhp 5spd manual or more common the 4 spd tiptronic. Later models (facelift) had 5 spd tip boxes.

I had mine for about 18 months with no problems. It was quite quick but not fast. Well fast enough for me at 22 anyway.

 

Yeah they not super fast but nice cars to drive, had one as my 1st car. Deffo go for the GPX & fit a Bitz SUS induction, sounds insane when it hits the MIVEC.

 

i don't think i've ever come across a manual one, were the autos loads more popular?

 

Hmm My opinion is there a it girly.

they sound nice though with the V6, but you have to get a GPX or Type R for any descent power, and try to find a manual, there over a second quicker 0-60 than the autos.

Also, i heard the servicing is simular to the scooby as the engine is mounted front to back, rather than side to side if you know what i mean????
