A lot cheaper than the scoob to run,just not cheap compared to a lot of other cars lol.
I drove my mates a few times and i used to have a civic vti,if you keep it out of the power band and drive normally you get great mpg,but if you nail it everywhere it'll drink the fuel.
P.S. Be careful of the back end swapping places with the front end,i think they've sorted it on the newer ones but the early models were a right bugger as my mate found out when he spun into a barrier on a nice dry day coming off a roundabout

Just so you know, you can get new S2Ks from Bob Gerrards for around 23k.

Insurance - Bell Direct - 650. Scoob was 800+. Use elephant.co.uk for an online guide.
Enjoy, they are great!

IIRC the cars come from Cyprus which is not EU therefore the warranty will be different and some other stuff like alarm/immobiliser. Dealer told me suspension setup would be different but I find it hard to believe anything they say. I don't know too much , I was tempted but decided against it, mainly because it was more than I wanted to spend...

nope 
Ok, so did Cyprus just join the EU on May 1st or something? I dunno, phone them up. LOL. Bob Gerards that is not Cyprus
Anyway, when Cyprus was not in the EU the warranty was not the 3year/90k that we got here, don't know if that has now changed.
Oh and DBM - Didn't you want to buy my gay convertible when I've finished with it?? Damn you trying to pick up my hand me downs...
