Clio Interior:
Corsa Interior:
Abarth 500 Interior:
Steering wheel in the Abarth is Porn. It felt so solidly made for a fiat, was cosy, gorgeous dash and felt snug.
Hmmmm

On interior the 500 really wins. On outside looks the clio wins.
All IMO of course.

Abarth interior is nice. I've gone off the outside of them since I saw one in the metal. Looks too tall and narrow

I wouldn't get the 500, I think it will be a car that in a year or so I would be sick of the sight of.

The only thing i disliked about the 500 was the gear stick. I dislike dash mounted ones.

I understand that, and obviosuly would rather own a BMW.....
But as mentioned, i want something NEW that hasnt got any hidden secrets, doesnt need a refurb, repaint, new parts etc etc....
Plus want something to save me a few pennies on fuel, insurance, tax, tyres, brakes, servicing and parts.
Old BMWs are hideously expensive. As much as i love them, i need to be a bit more realistic at the minute.

When testing driving both the clio and VXR I found the VXR a nicer place to be
And the seats are great
You can get Adaptive lighting but that's halogens only
why not go for a 1 series derv - just as quick as the VXR

If the difference between the vtr and a 172 is unreal your vtr is really really slow.

Is a vtr 10 seconds to 60?
I've always been led to believe they were fastish.

if they are off boost then they are not racing
they have alot of lag but when on boost they have some guts
Guys in a new ST off here struggled to lose one from 20 to 70 so how a VTR can beat one is beyond me
