Hi - thinking about changing to a faster hatchback. Have Laser 1.8GLXi but want something that can really move a bit without being a MPS or ST170. Thanks guys.

have a 3 year old SP23.it moves very quickly( light and powerful ) and understand the later SP25 can be dangerous= very speedy.

They go fairly well but you certainly wouldn't class one as 'very speedy'

I have a manual SP23 sedan 2005 model - it revs quite well, manual gearing is ok but just a small issue between 1st & 2nd gear (problem may still be inherent with the SP25 model), good acceleration when you want to push it but it won't be in "turbo/V8" territory - still a very good car to drive quickly so I imagine that the SP25 will have carried on the tradition!
