I know there are a few guys on here that own one.
What are they like to drive etc?
Are you pleased with it's over all performance?

Once remapped they are quick enough. Mid 14's to 100.
They understeer quite easily, but fit some decent suspension and they are good enough.
The standard turbo spools up at 2k, and runs out of puff at 5.5k, so similar power range to a diesel.
I could get 45mpg out of mine on long motorway runs, averaged about 35mpg driving like a terrorist on crack.

Yep under steer a bit. But as said, few mods and can handle quite well.

I love mine, they handle quite well but I have the H&R cup kit on mine, the engines are pretty bullit proof and very torquey as standard. Once remapped its like a different car all together
They can have there fair sgare of problems tho but there common ones
