for me ...
No 5th gear = ridiculously loud engine above 70 km/h
head unit is weird, and if pressed too hard buttons dont work = distracting while driving
boot rattles a whole ton on not smooth roads at higher speeds
tacho would be nice
and the car feels heavy as sh** on any turn, worse than bob which was a bigger car!
the lack of a passenger side mirror is strange
the first and second levels of aircon dont work, only 3rd and 4th and that = FREEZING UR BALLS OFF
passenger side windows dont wind down
the goods:
clutch is soft as jello
gears are forgiving and easy to put in
surprisingly decent power ...
I drove all the way from the vines to claremont and the fuel gauge barely moved!
and tons more
Im actually really happy with my 700 dollar excel!
getting it booked in for an immobiliser asap n thn insuring it with RAC
