Hi everyone been looking at upgrading our current daily driver 08 plate 308 1.6hdi for a while now, and after coming up with a few options we decided an st180 would fit the bill perfectly.
After a good search we took a trip to mansfield yesterday to view a real nice spirit blue with just under 40k, fsh, 12 months mot, hpi clear and completely standard.
As with anything i was expecting the car not to be as good as it was in the pictures, needless to say i was wrong and it was just as good.
Me and the wife both test drove the car as it will be more for her than me as i use the van all week and most saturdays tbh.
We were blown away at just how well it drove and i was actually taken by surprise at just how quick it was as i was not expecting much from 180bhp (easily quicker than our old 210bhp mk1 octavia vrs)
anyway got back struck a great deal with the garage and we go to collect the car this coming sunday cant bloody wait
got 3 pics but more to come once we get it home.
i do have a few plans for the car but no silly stuff as its gotta be a daily so no droning exhaust systems etc.
induction kit/turbo induction hose and possibly hot/cold side boost kit should help it flow a bit more i reckon, might go for de cat downpipe and then a remap but will have to see
