You won't be disappointed mate, love mine to bits. Get it re-mapped, makes it a totally different car and much nicer and snappier to drive.

Done a few a few miles in it, and still taken back how nice it is, so glad I chose it, drives like a new car, fuel economy isn't the best though lol

yup the economy is sh!t, and the stone chips and scraping the bumper

but ive had mine six years and it is the perfect car for ragging around all day then using for tescos, and picking up the kids.

they are so reliable too.

and for what you paid you can really expect zero depreciation.....the bargain RS at the moment
