I love yellow cars, got a yellow car at the moment, and hopefully get another yellow one for my next car in the next few months

fookin awsome little flyer - even standard will waste the turbo leon cupra R , ive driven about 10 or more of these a little gharsh on the suspension but it is designed to be a sports car , the only problem is the wheels, the dish is outward on them and every car ive seen has the wheels scuffed , plus they come with AP's instead of the cheap brembos that the leon had

go for it m8 - you'll love it
