How do they compare to the standard one? I fancy a new car but love the puma so this would be ideal

I drive mine 30 miles to work through a mix of dual carriageway, traffic queues, and twisty country B roads.... and 30 miles back along the M42 and dual carriageways. I also use it for business trips up and down the country. The car is fine.
However when you drive another car you realise that the FRP does need a bit more effort and is a bit more tiring than say, your average Astra.
For me the pleasure of owning and driving the car outweigh any disadvantages. Of course you get through brakes quicker and more petrol but you would with any car using it every day.
Oh and I think the hard ride makes me want to pee more as Im always bursting by time i get to destination!!!! (or is it just me getting old).

With my job its kinda constant 0.5- 1 mile trips all the time, pottering around town. Obviously the frp isnt ideal for this kinda lifestyle but its only 9-5 i suppose eh! There is a tendancey for folk to get a bit carried away when it comes to this type of car, i suppose at the end of the day its a car just the same as any other (looks and performance aside!)
