Haha, jamie, my mum and sister both say stuff about glanza's everytime they see one saying how ugly they are, there cool to the younger generation ONLY because they have turbo's but in aberdeen, its overkill - its car of the centuary, theres more of them than saxo's or even corsa's!! especially with a few importers up here aswell there VERY easy to get hold of.

Nutorious-C-a-t on this forum had a very well spec'ed glanza that was very clean, not the normal "turning the boost to max" glanza, thats the kind of person you call an ENTHUSIAST.
Not someone who buys one one thinks lowering, drift wheels and turning the boost to max isnt called an enthusiast, which is what this guy (as you call it from glanzaville) has done to his.
putting a drift toy on his FWD moon buggy.

How does posting picture's of shit bodykitted Saxo's make the Glanza better? Surely that just shows those car's owner's have poor taste?
And besides:
Looks like a bloody mpv lol.

I don't know what everyones problem is with the Glanza. Sure the original was boxy and rather ugly but the one you posted looks good to me. I especially don't like the one in Mansfield lol You'll know the one!

Haha... Claire's? She's a facking mappet lol.
But yea, they're fugly and as said, look like a Micra. Never been a fan, never will be lol.
I think people just buy them because they can play with a dump valve  Fair play to those that do like them though, but not my cuppa.

i'm fully aware that the starlet was made with a pathetic 4wd system that can't handle any form of power worth mentioning.
the ax was made in a 4wd but again is a gay 4wd system that can't handle any form of power.
this may seem like 'pot, kettle, black' scenario but all you have done is come on here and tell us how you side stepped from one shit car to another shit car and you are now trying to justify it! they're crap, and really anybody driving either car gets laughed at really.

10 psi i personally dont see why you would of sold a vts turbo to go and buy a 1.3 glanza turbo, me personally would rather have a saxo turbo if offered both. I do like the starlet gt and came very close to buying 1 before i got my current vts and personally dont think they look that bad, but out of all the cars if they were all mint and new/ready to go id pick the R5GTT anyday

thats just as much insurance fraud as insuring it as a non turbo.
gt turbo is not a glanza, and is completely different to insure.
im insuring my gt turbo, with mods declared, thats over 300bhp, with cd30, and it costs me just over a grand.

yup, silly as it sounds, glanza's are more, well i dont think specifically they are more, but less companies cover them, so in the long run there are less quotes to get, so costs more.
and for the fella who said the 4wd system cant hold power, there is one in ireland that was taking over 300bhp, and was used mostly on 1/4, so did get put through its paces, and nothing failed with the 4wd setup.
