Hi everybody, just stumbled upon the forum whilst scouting for a spare wheel for my 2013 spacestar Intense. Great resources on here! will post pics of my bambino soon

Hello! Another country heard from. I believe you're our first member from Ireland - congrats!

The few Irish reviews I've read about the car were fairly positive. Is your Intense with the 1.0 or 1.2?

Welcome to the site.

Hi Darin,

I have the 1.2 version, great little car, fantastic fuel economy and often tested to the limits on the rough and rugged roads here!

Welcome to the site. Glad to have you here.

Well it's good to hear from someone who appreciates the car's compliant suspension setup. It has taken a lot of criticism in the U.S. (and England, and Canada to some extent) for not being set up to ride/handle like a go-kart on smooth roads.

Welcome. What color and transmission did you get?

Great to know that the Mirage's suspension can take a beating. How many miles (or KM) does your car have?

I was almost certain that suspension would have been the first thing to replace (for maintenance).

hi i got a stardust silver manual transmission, what have you?

I've clocked up 13k kms now. Our roads are shocking around here! we have narrow windy tracks with grass growing along the centre, dotted with deep potholes, often flooded from all the rain, with uneven surfaces and broken away edges, i go into farm yards where the road surface is large stones and gravel, maybe i should have brought a tractor instead!

Do you like the way the soft suspension handles the potholes?
