just wanted peoples thoughts on them, real world!
plus shes is driving a ibiza tdi130 at mo, 50mpg is she going to moan about the lower mpg?

Will she moan? Of course she will. She's a woman..

Hello mate, seriously they are amazing!

MPG - I drive mine and have some fun and see 35mpg.

Seats are super comfy/supportive and it has enough grunt to have some fun on the back roads, handling is very very good. On track though it's really impressive although the brakes could do with upgrading as when your really pushing it on track they are on the limit.

The suspension however is "firm" so if it's for your Mrs to use as a daily I'd be careful on that, the test drive will show this up though.

Heather drives mine a bit and she loves it but she has commented on the above...

Mines currently standard other than an AS induction kit
Revo stage one will be next once they sort the code out, should be anytime now.


Basically - GET ONE! I LOVE MINE!

The press are loving them! Seems to be a hell of a car, glad to see ford still have it when it comes to hot hatches.

Think of it as a future track car

Id love to strip it out now and go balls on it

Must resist!!!!!!!!

It's Czech Mate

Amazing fun, really lovely to drive. I want one for my missus but she didnt like it when we test drove it :-(

Also you cant go faster for cheaper in a brand new car ( according to EVO )

Look at the Mountune upgrade for £599 which keeps the warranty

Absolute hoot

Driven one a few times, including round a track and the reviews are right - brilliant cars. They feel nimble, handle beautifully and are genuinely fast. Very easy to drive fast, too.

I didn't find the suspension too harsh, but it's not exactly soft so does depend what you're used to.
