Summary
What does this car say about you?
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Received quite a bit of attention. No doubt about it, it is a good looking car. The exterior pack (front and rear lower bumper extentions, side sills, rear spolier and 18 alloy wheels) make the car look even better.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, good looks. But would go for the 150 bhp CDTI engine next time.
What are you likely to buy next?
Undecided and have only just got this car in November.

Excellent handling. Steering is fairly responsive. The ride is firm, but not too firm. All in all good fun to drive.

Very annoying rattle coming from passenger seat.

Very good sized boot. Also space is rear seats is surprisingly good for a 3 door car.

Sport button is great. Does exactly what it says. The steering wheel controls for stereo and trip computer are excellent, all cars should have this as standard!
