I dont understand why some people dont seem to get this torque steer thing. Do tyres make that much of a difference. Just out of interest GeordiePaul, or anyone who doesnt get this torque steer, if you pulled away hard on a straight, flat bit of road without holding onto the steering wheel...

I didnt expect it to be top, there is some stiff competition out there, but how in the world can it be worse than a vauxhall astra!

sounds good to me. Have you ever bought from there before? Cheers for that!

Cheers Scudetto. Seems a bit hit and miss. Some people have no problems, some people do. Just pot luck really by the look of things. Still, if you save £3K off uk list price, its still probably worth a bit of hassle.
