Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Summary
What does this car say about you?
I like sporty cars and know a bit about motors!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They love the noise it makes when u punch down a gear or two, and most people still get lost with the rear hidden door handles which makes me laugh 2 years later.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Definetly especially since the hard ride has been sorted out and there is a new 7 speed DSG to try out. I'd love a VW Scirocco but the money is silly for essentially a similiar car....
What are you likely to buy next?
Cupra or FR Leon, or possibly the Ibiza Boca

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Fantastic acceleration, great overtaking, and fantastic on twisty roads. Can be a bit hard on the suspension on bumpy roads and road noise can be loud but I listen to my music loud so it's not overbearing
What's it like to park?
I've curbed the 18" alloys to within an inch of their lives, rear visibility is ok but not great
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Rear brake bulbs went at 15,000 miles and oil ran very low at around the same time, hadn't been topped up at service which I thought was odd?
What's most practical about your car?
Great acceleration makes overtaking a breeze
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The DSG box is a joy to use......all auto boxes should be DSG in a few years.....just wait and see!
