Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Excellent engine - refined, efficient and powerful. Loving the drive - xs sport has the softer "sport" (over the excessly hard GT and GTi) suspension so excellent compliance round blighties roads and hard enough to be fun in the twisties. In combination with the THP powerplant - all the car I wanted for now
What's it like to park?
Very easy, fair visability
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
In 17,000 miles and 15 months no massive problems thankfully. Few minor things though engine - THP has known noise issues on cold starts (not a problem - 1 min idle and 30 sec run, then fine) rear window wiper "ticks" dash has developed a slight vibration noise - superficial Rear boot made "knock" noise - easy solved with some washers and glue. All minor in my book.
What's most practical about your car?
Surprisingly good boot - with seats down excellent for my needs
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Leather seats - no more static attack!
