end of the day its OJC's opinion
All cars mentioned are by no means bad cars
Some have good and bad points - all depends what you want and look for in a car
If cost is no issues then VXR is a nice car if your willing to lose loads of money
If interior is not a big issue subaru or french cars
How the car looks from the outside is down to personal preference
Spending 17K it needs to make you feel good everytime you drive it
Its his choice and either way he will get a decent car good luck
Like been said people slate cars for different reasons - I knwo this this as people always slate my TT. If it makes you happy go for it - but the comments were just my own opinion

No, £5 for a leather one or £50 for a replacement Momo 
Spied a leather one on eBay though.

oliver, please please please don't be swayed by thinking of not getting it because you are a 'vauxhall man' fpmsl
i had 4 vauxhalls, then got rid of my XE GSI and i've got my vr6 and pulsar GTIR. they are both soooo much better, in so many ways than any vaux i've ever driven ( i drive vectra VXR's most days at work)
there is so much more to it than vauxhalls! the scoobs interior isn't v well built tbh , they never have been but my pulsar's isn't either,
tbh, if you really think you can afford it and all it's costs, go for it!

It just pisses me off people saying the interior isn't well built, is shoddy and cheap, etc. when it's not. Apart from the last scooby it's the most solid well put together car i've ever owned.

It's funny, because people get in my car and comment how nice the interior
I do admit the Newage WRX interior is bland, but the STI one i wouldn't agree.

20k or every year which would be the same for a Scooby, we don't do more than 8k a year.

King Damio you crack me up
One of the frist thing ollie said was that he wasnt botherd about the service intervals. Doesnt want an EVO because they are serviced 4.5k or something stupid.
