I well happy with it. It is really nice to have a nice newish car.

Yeah price tag is hefty, but if you consider that they were 19k from new.
They do also have a £2000 front brake set up, then all the other bits I think you get a very good combination of a car.
Supposedly better than a VXR.

i'd rather have the vxr but obviously the mpg on those is not half as good
looks nice with the recaro's and alloys.

Really really like these, would've loved a red one but mrs didn't like it for some silly reason.
Lovely car mate, as you say best of both worlds performance and a nice cheap car to run around in.
