I know my cars.

No, fit and finish and build just can not compete with German rivals.

Bmw 1 Series coupe, VW Golf GTI/R.

July 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

Cash price, no part-exchange

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

High performance, looks, older cars such as Golfs were more expensive.

What was the dealer like?

Dealer was great. Got a lot of money off and got extras as well.

What's it like to drive?

Best car I have ever owned as far as driver focus appeal - you can take bends at high speed and come out grinning and power is only there when you want it. Road noise can get tiresome and ride is hard but to be expected for a car like this.

What's it like to park?

Parking sensors help, but even though I am blind in one eye I don't have a problem.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No, it has been very reliable. Had to replace tyres as previous owner put cheap ones on and it aquaplaned really badly.

What's most practical about your car?

All round vision is perfect.
