What does this car say about you?

Middle age boy racer i suppose.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They seem to like it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, It ticks most boxes for a small hot hatch.

What are you likely to buy next?

Not sure yet.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

January 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

Not bad. The car was over priced really, but it did have a few extras, such as Full recaro leather, adaptive lighting, larger alloys etc.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Liked the look and power of the car.

What was the dealer like?

Friendly, helpful.

What's it like to drive?

Drives really well. It is not super quick, i also drive a Volvo C30 T5. This is quite a lot quicker in a straight line, (even though the 0 - 60 time is almost identical) but the VXR catches up around bends. It really feels like it is on rails.

What's it like to park?

Easy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

I have had to get the front discs and pads changed, but i knew that when i bought it. The stability control light comes on on and stays on at times. Will need to keep an eye on that.

What's most practical about your car?

Decent fuel economy for the power.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Has to be the black leather recaro's. They are very comfortable in a firm way and look great.
