Sorry to disappoint you, but that's NOT a girly car. Its 1.8 litres of TO4-charged fury, and if you drove it you'd probably end up running over something. Purple. Again.
Actually you have a point- I thought the RS was turbo because all the ones I've seen have been, but it seems they're just ideal for transplanting an evo engine into. (you know, Evos, those cheap disposable boy racers toys we have littering our streets over here ;-))
From the factory they're 1.8 mivec beasties with decent suspension.
*day dreams* when i grow up, i'm going to have an evo in nz. despite them being rattly or what not. why weigh the car down with extra weight with the likes of bolts and glue..
the only mivec engines i know of in aus are in the fto imports, the some of the current 4wd range (it'd need mivec just to haul their heavy butts) and the new line of Colts (uuuugly, and handle like you're average rollerskating grandparent), oh, and the 3 evo's that australia has too.
did the UK get the Mirage RS? 1.8 Mivec engined in japan, though the US got something badged an 'RS' which was basically a 4-door mirage with pinstripes.
