I had a brief go in the colchester demo today and I actually thought it was a pretty good car. It actually would suit me quite well as I am in the market for a 5dr hot hatch. I didn't mind the fact it looks pretty similar to a 1.2, it went well, handled nicely and was easy to drive quickly...
I've not had any problems like this with mine. However, the heater thing is a known issue I think caused by water sitting in the bottom of the front clam, it's a clam off job to fix but it's do-able.
No, he's been perma-banned - frank/ronin doesn't take criticism very well and has been known to be a bit 'abrupt' to anyone who might have a different opinion to him. He's on pistonheads and exiges.com (and lotustalk too I think).

However, now I know who you are (I've seen you on a few days I've done previously)...
