As Paul C said I had one... Great car thay do cost alot to keep A1.
The engine is sweet very smooth. Early S2 had the AB engine 220bhp 5 speed. Then the later spec had the ABY engine 230bhp 6 speed. Steve I think you find that all S2 are 4wd (I maybe wrong).
There good to drive and very sure footed, steering is how would I say woody feel.
Still I could get the back out on my S2..
One more thing brakes are crap...! As I find out one evening.. :-)
Why did I sell my one, putting my mountian bikes in one it and kit just could not do it to such a nice car.. So I got a corrado VR6 which I have to say is a drivers car..
