Great article and kudos for you for taking your bike off road! I don't think I'd have the courage to do it with a bike that large and, let's be honest, that valuable. I recently picked up a Suzuki DR-Z400 for less than €2000, I'll be taking that off road purely because I'm not worried about the damage.

I can control mine, with the key!

You have such a way with words! Deserves a star...

You see? Even you can articulate a response! I look forward to you being able to count to twenty while you aren't barefoot or wearing sandals.

K-cars just don't have the heritage for me.

I'm not a fan of the European interpretation of big power diesels (big torque over very limited rev ranges). As for big truck diesels, sign me up! Unfortunately we don't get them over here.

I'll take the F1, any day of the week.

You seem to really want me dead. I'll see what I can do, but in the meantime I think I'll hang around and keep posting my opinions. As far as I know that's still allowed, even if fascist jizzmops like you don't approve...

So much animosity Jeremiah! So much hostility. And all that for an opinion which isn't the same as yours? I wonder what happens when you encounter something truly irritating.

That's okay. Deep breaths. Try to work through your anger.

Yet another person who thinks that someone of contrary opinions must be a troll. Well played to you sir. As for your assertion that I don't love cars, I'll have difficulty sleeping tonight, but I'll try all the same.

Of course they're bloody cars, what's your point?

So wrong, so very wrong.

The two cylinder engine in the Fiat 500 is prone to losing its coils and some dead turbochargers are starting to appear, when it was first launched Fiat had to issue a stop-sale order to fix some early issues. Granted this is all forum speak here in Italy, but then isn't that how the great Porsche IMS scare started?

MultiAir engines are proving to be quite delicate in some applications.

You see I'm not so sure. Judging by the replies I'm getting I don't think they need to change a thing, they've got their fan base, and quite rightly so. I'm just not one of them.

If they want to do it properly I imagine they'll make a 'standard' version with a Fiat badge and something a little bit more spicy with the Abarth one. I for one am very curious to see what it turns out like. One request, please include the double hood bulges from the original. Pretty please.

I desperately want to love this car. I really do. I guess that in a time of emissions laws, pedestrian impact laws and so forth this is the best Honda can do and to be fair, a 160+mph hot hatch is pretty damn amazing.

Godwin's law is alive and well! I doff my cap in your direction good sir.

Allow me to direct sir towards the Citroen C4 Visiospace. Although I imagine a chipped windshield will end up costing about as much as the entire car.
