Getting re-map back on next week........can't wait.

 

[turbonutter69]

Is it a nice drive then? Have you had many problems with it since owning it? It is very nice mate...

 

[sprout99]

no other probs other than the current intermittent one thats cost me £400 to find.

Car drives very well and rear wheel drive is much fun - but can be scary in wet.

Car does turn heads when it's clean - which isn't for long at the minute.
TBH it's no more expensive to run than a VW or Audi.

Hello there

 

[Prince]

Nice ride mate!

 

[drewedgar]

Hi sprout, I work in peterlee, i'll keep an eye out for you.

 

[charger69]

nice ride, mate. but on top gear haven't heard nothing good about these rides.

 

[pgarner]

no charger. Work used to have one as company car so had a few goes in it, trips to A&E mainly, it could shift well even in standard form

 

[sprout99]

styling isn't exciting, interior isn't as good as audi but handling is excellent
I spend a lot of time in car so like it to keep me interested

car has a good road stance and good residuals and no timing belt.

 

[charger69]

handling? cool then. dunno, never had one of those thru my hands, so dunno how they are.
