Half leather Recaros and are dead comfy!

No plans as of yet, buying the thing has put a dent in my money just going to enjoy it.

Probably will stick it on the dyno to check it all over but thats it so far. Maybe do a track day if I can let Luca persuade me!

Depends how you drive it though. And NO NO to a remap. Unless its a done by someone i know and trust cause I've heard piston 4 runs too lean then fails but only on remapped corsas.

Love the look of these little things, far better than a fiesta IMO.. Maybe ford should have let the fiesta rs turbo live on instead of the all new fiesta flight

You can get so much more for your money than a fiesta. Plus it looks far better.

I already have a tuner in mind. Let's see if I can persuade him!

Nice colour. Not my bag really, but I bet it goes some for what it is. Definitely a step up from the Zetec-S.

All I'll say is I'm glad I'm not paying the fuel bills, cos I've heard they drink it

Nice smart car, and as said, probably cheaper/quicker than the Ford counter part. Probably a bit too in your face for me, but I like understated cars

Leave it as it is and enjoy it
