[edit] out of interest

There's not many of these left about, not many at all, at least if the number I spy on british roads is anything to go by (it's quite an event; there's far more vw polos of ten years their senior than cinqs) ... those that are left almost universally emit a curious noise reminiscent of a harley-davidson motorcycle or a 2-stroke dirt bike... would it be fair to assume the main mode of failure is something going catastrophically wrong, and the poor unfortunate blatting examples that have passed me by were not long for the world? surely they couldn't have made that sound from new, no-one who ever took a test drive would have bought it.

A shame, because I quite like these little almost-smartcar sized glorified go-karts, and would have bought a used one as my first car if my parents hadn't laid down iron fists against it on grounds of safety (but oddly enough, not the almost certainly non-existant interior space).

By the way can anyone confirm what the gearing was like in the Sporting, particularly e.g. terminal speeds in 4th and 5th gear - I've long had a bone to pick with Gran Turismo that thinks they hit the ~7000rpm rev limiter at a little over 90mph... this surely can't be true, can it? My similarly powerful car is geared about that high in 3rd.82.46.180.56 (talk) 23:37, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
