It looks clean but do you really want a 1.8? (NOI)

Is an airbag not on your wish list now?

The car is not for me...i can't walk or drive yet...it's for a friend of mine and she wouldn't get any insurance on a mivec at a reasonable price :twisted:

Airbag would be a good thing but i don't think any 1.8 have it.
Is the 1.8 a good engine on the fto? I have never driven one.

I wouldn't knock the GS until you drive one, they're nippy enough but you will have to push it to get going. To be fair though, the difference in performance compared to the V6 is significant. The 4G93 engine is pretty bullet proof and will give you little ot no problems, its also easier to get parts for an theres less to go wrong. Assuming performance is not important to your friend, I wouldn;t discount it - its a very clean looking car at the right price with cheap (er) tax. Note that a lot of insurance companies don't differenciate between the GS and the V6s - make sure your friend shops around.
