Summary
What does this car say about you?
You like a sporty look. The car does look sporty, even if the performace doesnt quite match.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They liked it i think. They didnt like the noise the exaust made wen it fell off at 5am.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No. I do like the look of the car, especially the 180 version, but the performance just lets it down. And of course all the problems i had
What are you likely to buy next?
I have just perchased a Clio 182, which is much more fun and way faster.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Quite fun, although to be honest, considering its a 2.0 GTi, its rather dissapointing. Dont get me wrong, its not slow, just could be a lot faster. Wouldnt keep up with much in the same class. The clio 182 (which i now own) kills it, and is in a different league.
What's it like to park?
Easy enough, quite a small car so nothing to not really.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Loads. The whole time I owned it I had continuous problems. First the exhaust went, which ended up being replaced 3 times in 2 years. I had problems with the ECU, all the electrics, and it often wouldnt start.
What's most practical about your car?
Its comfortable, a nice interior, which was one of the reasons i bought it.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Climate control, the leather seats.
