Summary
What does this car say about you?
As a 19 year old it says I want a small fun car.that can turn heads! I went for frozen white without any stripes so still fits into the traffic nicely.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Friends love it and always ask me about it. Parents and neighbours (who are of course the older generation) think its a bit boy racer even if I did go for no OTT stripes.
Would you buy this car again and why?
I would, the most fun you can have in a used hot hatch!
What are you likely to buy next?
By the time I sell this I will want something more executive so maybe a BMW 335d or an Audi TT. If I havent grown up by then itll be a focus ST...

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Holds to the road very well in the corners and when youre not going for a leisurely drive on some back roads its very subtle and fits in. I highly suggest to anyone thinking of buying one to get it lowered as it makes the car loads more fun when youre going round a narrow twisty road. The ST seats hold you in well in the corners and even I can get a nice position at 6 foot 3!
What's it like to park?
Very easy! Clutch is a little heavy at times though. Rear visibility is good enough to compensate for that though...

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No! Totally reliable car!
What's most practical about your car?
Its small, fast, economical and suits my needs and can still fit people comfortably in the back when needed.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The sony stereo. Gives fantastic sound over the older model 6006cd stereo.That or the lowered springs which give the car much less body roll and give a nicer ride!
