Full electrics
Elec memory heated seats

Must be your camera settings... lol.
All you fuckers are really swaying me lately!
How do you rate the tickover sound?
I know when revved a little they sound nice, but looking on youtube they sound like a diesel at idle.
I know this is normal but is it bad with the bonnet down?

Ah come on mate I doubt anyone would pull this cos its got a price on it you said it was very cheap so others, including myself, are wondering how cheap you got that. Any mod that would pull it for that I think would be seriously unjustified. That aside very nice car and guessed it was a sort of gunmetal-ish grey colour

What is with peoples obsession of asking how much something is/was?
Is it that you want to understand market conditions or you want to know you got a better deal or that he paid too much/got a steal?
Interested to understand.
Cheers

i would not want to be buying a below 6.5k one to be honest.....
it will be high mileage v reg or something.
glad JamesWRX knows what hes talking about though....
There is a cat D on autotrader with 140k and no history for Ł6995
Thats the cheapest within 60 miles from me.
Som im xtremely happy with what i paid.
Im obviosly comparing it to facelift 100k + cars though and they are anywhere from 9K and upto 13K.
Thanks again james.

i think most people want to know what things cost to see if the peson is just bulsh*ting or not.
i looked for a while and have a friend thats had 5 and he said this was bang on and very cheap.
So im happy.
just got back from going out in it and they are awesome in sport mode.
traction cuts in first 3 gears and thats in the dry
Then when you slow down its like driving a luxury car with everything you could want at youre fingertips.
honestly if you eve have a chance to buy or at leastdrive i would take it.
keep the cossie as a second car

mine averages on a week around 19-20. i do alot of traffic on the route to and from work
i only managed the 33 figure on a real real steady cruise at 80mph, it seems to get better the faster you go lol...get it onto the motorway, reset the consumption fig, and see what she cruises at, it interesting to see how different driving styles change the consumption
not sure on ipod, sure there must be a way pal,
i cant say the k+ns made a big difference, a bit of noise, and the fact they last forever is why i did it tbh
mines limited to 155 in 6th, but they pull 186 in 5th std!
