Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Drives really well. It is not super quick, i also drive a Volvo C30 T5. This is quite a lot quicker in a straight line, (even though the 0 - 60 time is almost identical) but the VXR catches up around bends. It really feels like it is on rails.
What's it like to park?
Easy.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
I have had to get the front discs and pads changed, but i knew that when i bought it. The stability control light comes on on and stays on at times. Will need to keep an eye on that.
What's most practical about your car?
Decent fuel economy for the power.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Has to be the black leather recaro's. They are very comfortable in a firm way and look great.
