They like it, mother says its comfortable and a nice colour (Mother eh lol).

Yes but maybe the RS instead for more power.

June 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

Was a good price for the mileage and condition.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Wanted a practical and reliable hot hatch and didn't look like a typical boy racers car.

What was the dealer like?

The dealer was terrible, had a small problem on it about 3 weeks after I purchased it. They kept refusing to fix it under warranty when it clearly stated it was under the warranty. Wouldnt buy a car from them again, awful customer service.

What's it like to drive?

Certainly not the fastest hot hatch but probably one of the most fun to drive, great handling car.

What's it like to park?

Turning circle isn't great but nice size to get into smaller spaces.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Only tyre wear, serviceable parts needed, and both rear springs. bought it with 54k on the clock and now has 111k, still runs great.

What's most practical about your car?

Space for all my biking gear and bikes.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Short shift gearbox.
