Can you turn the caplock off

Facelift is a better car, mechanically not that different, but consider it a refinement.  Better rust prevention, but still not as good as Audi etc...

Additionally, the newer engines have no throttle cable, all done by ECU.  Whether or not that makes it more reliable is a seperate debate though...
