Oh I see, so people can use the same logic cos they saw an Alfa at the side of the road once, but I'm not allowed to when I see a broken Type-R? Hmmmm.
Anyway, Jap cars are shit. Soulless, tedious, blandly styled domestic appliances built for people who don't give a shit about their car, just want to get from A to B. Out of all the boxes to come out of Japan, the only one I can think I'd like is an NSX.
Put it this way, my little Fiat has hardly been a paragon of reliability. I've had a clutch, an ignition coil and a lamba probe fail on me, it failed its MOT cos of two broken bits of suspension, and currently has a sporadic overheating problem. However it has an absolute firecracker of a 1.2 litre engine (which sounds fucking superb as its just about to hit the limiter) and deeply amusing handling, which means every journey brings a huge grin. I wouldn't trade it for anything at the moment (except perhaps a newer Punto) in spite of all the problems. In fact, I'm having ideas about turning it into a track slag with some choice upgrades. I'm thinking I could spend less than a grand on upgrades and eat Golf GTi's for breakfast.
