Summary
What does this car say about you?
That you are a keen driver and you know a good car. When I see other hot hatches I often think "they have made the wrong choice", but then I'm obviously biased.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Most of my friends love it. Some of the "older" people I know shake their head at it as they assume I'm just a boy racer. In fact I'm not, I just think that for the price, it is the best car in the market.

What are you likely to buy next?
Not sure yet, maybe a Nissan 350Z
