It is a good looking car. I've already had the sides resprayed under warranty due to the excessive chipping. I just don't get on with it. I was too impatient and couldn't wait another year for the Cupra to come out, so bought the vxr.
It was very bad with the vxr. Owners were having the whole car resprayed under warranty. Poor quality paint plus 20" wheels with soft tyres! The sides were covered in chips, not just one or two. Literally hundreds. Puts you off driving it hard as you can hear the stones rattling around the wheel...
No mate. It's a great looking car and interior is a nice place to be. But too many issues with them. Stone chips the main one. Mines already been resprayed under warranty! They may have solved that problem now, I'm not sure. U need to check out the vxr forum. Depreciation is huge, gearbox not so...
Yes I'll be going elsewhere. I checked out that carwow this morning. I'd never heard of them till I saw them mentioned on here. I also had a look at broker4cars which came up with a 5.5k saving on a virtually fully spec'd one.
I definately need a test drive first tho. Bought my current car...
I was hoping to maybe get one ordered today. I'd arranged a test drive for today. Phoned dealer half hour before I got there so they could get it out of the showroom. All I got to do was sit in it, no test drive, no figure's of any sort and not even a p/x figure. Not too happy to say the least...
I'm currently looking to change to the 135i m sport coupe. Simple remap from Evolve and it'll be pushing 360+ bhp! Quicker than the E92 M3 in a straight line....
Also been looking at the 370Z and most others in this thread. Still no idea what I'll actually go for!
Been a while since I updated this! Done a few things since, fitted the Milltek sport cat and gone Revo Stage 2. Also fitted an S3 intercooler and the TT RS alloys. Oh, and added the honeycombe behind the front grill and a couple of Revo badges. So here's a few more pics.........:D
