The used car market is certainly 'bouyant' at the minute, and although its not the best time to shift a car - I've decided to sell the girlfriends Clio Cup.
The Insurance renewal was ridiculous considering our circumstances and her use of the car - circa 4k per year! She will miss it, but its wasted on her, and I wouldnt mind something a bit more comfortable and sensible.
If I had the opportunity own another I probably would..Is it better than a Corsa VXR? Probably not... 
In a shamless fashion, here are some pics...enquiries via pm or see classifieds

I think he means mileage? Could be wrong though.

4000 miles per year fellas. Current insurance is/was £670 fully comp but the renewal is £1k, even after shopping about.
Cemented the decision to chop it in now and settle the O/S finance and upgrade to something premium.

I'm guessing you have driven one. I'm not sure how hard the ride is in the Clio but its reasonably firm on the A3 in S-line trim... I dont have a problem with it myself but I know some people find it a bit too hard.
Which engine?

Yes plenty (perk of the job)...
Compared to the Clio, it is alot better imo - lauren doesnt find the Clio suspension an issue tbh.
A3 is a TDi 140. Probably would have chosen that engine in all honesty, although this example that has come up just so happened to have it.

in my opinion the 140 engine is a better drive - but you wil confirm this
We were so close to getting the clio but decided on the VXR afetr driving both
Also insurance on the clio was so much higher than the VXR
