Driving it
What's it like to drive?
great to drive on every road but suited to a roads or long distance not a great noise when sat in traffic with the typical diesel sound.not as nippy handling as a fiesta.100bhp engine pulls very well and a engine remap will take it upto 130bhp with 240 torque thats same as a golf or audi a3 1.9 tdi without hefty price tag.
What's it like to park?
easy

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
indicator relay as lights were not workin on one side.around £80 at a local vauxhall garage and its good as new
What's most practical about your car?
packs a punch but turbo lag.added a performance air filter and it takes that off slightly.fuel consumption is great does 400 miles to tank and thats just around the town.cheaper than my old 1.2 fiesta to fill up n does 130 more miles to tank.perfect car for someone who wants performance and economy without high price tag of other german cars
