It's like a boat, rocking this way and that way. It's a world away from my 99.
There are one or two things i lke about it though
# Quality leather gear stick gator,
# Seats are not bad at all,
# v. smooth gearbox
# throttle response ain't bad.

And the things i don't like
# I've got to stick my head out of the window to check the engine's running,
# after the initial throttle response, there's nowt,
# rear visibility,
# no ******* turbo.

Edited to add : I've done 20 miles and the fuel gauge hasn't moved

I had a Suzuki Wagon+R. At least you could stick your head out of the window, I was too ashamed

You had a result in comparison

Mind you, a few mods and it could have looked quite good

Remove the centre head rest and stick it in the boot! That helps..

I thought the +R was really cool Scream the nuts out of it and you are still within legal speed limits

Thank god for that
I can now hear when the engine is running - in fact it's just about all i can hear
My car has undergone it's 45k service and they only found two problems. Well actually they found no cats and no rear fog , fortunately they didn't rectify the problems

Why don't you wire the fog into one of the reversing lights?, I done this the other week, painted the bulb red using some glass paint from the local art store, it worked a treat for the mot

MOT's ain't a problem I hate the things to be honest. When you're following a car who has one on they dazzle, so in my 8 years of driving, i'm yet to use it.
