Picked this up on Friday night. 1999 model, 5 speed manual, everything about it is as stock as it can get. Only 91,000km on it, and in really good condition. Paint is mint, roof/glass/latches are all perfect, no leaks anywhere, no fading or tears on roof or interior. The guy must have really loved this car.
Coming from driving an automatic turbo diesel mitsubishi triton for the last 3 years, and an auto vs commodore for a year before that, any manual would have been awesome. That being said, this is something else entirely. You can do u-turns in narrow streets. Roundabouts? Pick a speed and gear, and go. Straight line speed isn't huge, but more than enough for me. Quicker than the VS was, and much more fun.
Not sure about plans for the future yet. From what I've read, most modifications do nothing but slow it down. Exception being wider tyres (if you can get rims the same weight/lighter), and possibly swaybars. Will look into those when I'm not broke anymore.
