    An uneven amount if cylinders may often provide a smoother running, so I am totally okay with that. Beautifull car btw.

    Im picking up a second hand 1.0t and from the two test drives ive had, im really impressed! Pleseant place to sit and a good looking motor. Plenty of kit on offer but the only thing i would like is parking sensors. All in all keep up the good work! 👍

    Jared Niall Soks picked up my second hand one a month ago and the stereo needed an update as it kept freezing(had original version from new with known bugs) but it’s now fine, I find it understeers quite easily but it still has standard tyres. The turbo sometimes kicks in a bit late too when you’re in the higher gears, a high flow filter may help with that though 😄

    Mind-bendingly dull. The front end is weak, fussy and boring. Technically competent but what isn't in this sector? The interior is dark and the skimpy chrome details look cheap and do nothing to lift the sea of black and grey. If only the car had any stand-out visual appeal - it would be able to distinguish itself - as is, it's oppressively mediocre.
