as long as the map isn't aggressive, the clutch will be fine with a map (obv driving style will decide that). Good cars for the money. Dads got one, I would have one too if the insurance wasn't so high for me at the mo

Great cars, as said, as long as you don't get a stupidly aggressive map the clutch doesn't do too bad.
2004 model is right at the very start, I'm also assuming high miles?
All the doors let water in, back normally fails first, happens to everything with a polo or golf chassis, bad design. Easy fix with a tube of silicone although it's possibly been in for it before under warranty, Skoda replaced my carpet when it happened to mine but that's not really necessary.

Christ, thats a lot of money! I thought virtually doubling mine going from the Astra to the Focus was bad, but at least its sub £1k!

Watch the turbo after a remap 
Good cars all in all but like most VW/Audi etc they are devoid of soul.

why? no more turbos pop when mapped than standard! They pop easily if you try and put 200bhp through them though!
