The car is not slow for the price range. I bought one myself after my MR-S. I got a manual version and is tubro-charged with 0.95 bar boost as stock. Its not really fast when you compared it with a $280k GTR35 or cars in that kind of category, but it a fun car to drive with minimum running cost.

The boot space isn't that small, at least can put a lugguage in no problem. Best if he arrange to view or test drive it so he can decide. There are so many positive/negative comment from different ppl but i think most important is how he thinks and not what we think =)

I say this is a lifestyle car. I like to be in it if I want to seek for attention.

 

Go clubbing and it can attract a lots of dates. [kiss]. For this unique attraction, value for $$ in its class.

 

ya...for those looking for lifestyle. [thumbsup]

If he's prepared to shell out the money for a car in these uncertain times, all the more he should get a car that he likes. Don't be like my friend that bought a Fit after looking at all the coupes and cabriolets. Now 1 year later planning to change car. Will lose easily 13k if he really does change.

 

About the Copen, it is a pretty car IMHO. If your friend is man enough to drive around in what people call a sissy car, why not? Babes dig sissy cars. And if babes call u a sissy for driving around in one, you can always ask if they wanna try you. [laugh]

actually in de 1st place he didn't tink of getting a copen.his mind was all abt wrx, integra, etc...all de "sports" cars.den i asked him to reconsider de financial commitment he will b in...he can afford it la...but being self employed...anything can happen.den i pointed out to him de copen...den from den on he got hooked.

 

almost everyday after dat kept calling me talking abt dis car. [hur][laugh]

 

Maybe he'll change his mind if he sees this muscle [thumbsup]

The OMV for this car is 16k which is more than the Honda FIT and very near the OMV of the Stream or ISIS.

Basing of the OMV the price is reasonable.

But the Copen being not a Mass produced car but a Hand assembled car with the retractable Hard top Definately cost more. The COpen is not MAde to sell but only Assembled when orders is placed. Most 660cc cars are only 3 cylinder even the Mitsubitshi i, but the copen is a 4 cylinder DOHC engine as well with original stock straight thru exhaust without the muffler :) All these explains the relatively High price for a 660cc car.

Just a Unichip I did and I brought the BHP up to 90bhp. For a 840kg car, this is pretty quick.

I'm a guy driving this red car which many of my frens say it's a ger's car. But one thing I can assure you is that this car is a Babe magnet. Wherever you go, this cute little car never fails to attract attention from on lookers :)

go get it if he likes it. my wife and i checked out the car in late 2003. it's cute and fascinating, but headroom is a problem for tall driver.

 

it costed $90k+ then, so we settled for a cheaper family car. now we are still fascinated about the car, and it is within reach.. but we have a baby. so not suitable anymore.. kinda regret.
