Yep similar, mine is the base spec and has black mirror surrounds, black door handles, steel wheels, no front fogs and different grille/bumper.
Looks like this.
You're right about the frog eyes, but it's not as bad as the Austin Healey Sprite.

24ish mpg and it needed expensive work doing on the transmission.
New job is 27 miles each way five days a week, so twelve+ gallons of juice a week was just too much.
I always wanted one, now I've had one that's a box ticked, back to a normal car.

Fair enough. Should save you a tidy sum each time you fill up.

That's the plan, I wanted something new-ish, reliable, cheap to buy and cheap to run.
I had two Mk 1 Micras years ago and they were bulletproof, with any luck this one will be too.

Basic Liability thats all. If i wanted to get full coverage for a year it will cost me more then the bike itself.
Insurance companies are the biggest crooks in the world !!!!

I live in LA and pay $37/month for comprehensive through Progressive. I think it was $42 initially, then they dropped it to $37 after one year.
