Only noticed that just now. Get the standard ones back on. Immediately.

Do it. Brilliant cars, don't want to change mine until it dies.

Seems like you've not read what he posted thoroughly.

Flol if that's what you take from Marks experience. Dreadful. Customer shouldn't have to chase dealer to spend money. It's a hatchback not a gt3rs.

The premium they charge over other tuners make sense with the retained warranty. Without it, loses the main usp.

Lovely. Personally think it could do with being a touch higher on the rear. Have you got the rogue rear mounts?

I don't really understand your point? It's absolutely destroyed the current class leader at Bedford. It's a limited edition built to celebrate the 30th anniversary, and afaik the spec will then filter into the gti. Point being, there is a reason that you've not been able to drive one, why...

Slightly different situation there. There are only 100 cars coming to the UK in the case of the pug, wether you get a go or not it'll sell out. Once the changes are rolled out to the standard gti it'll be easier to drive.

The trophy badge is a trim level. It's only the 182trophy that was that special, don't forget it wasn't the 1st trophy.

From a completely non scientific point of view, I'd say the market share has dropped horrendously in the UK. I see more fiestas, minis, and 208s than the clio. It's a massive shame, if they build something decent I'd buy one.

It does smooth out once your used to it. It's better with slow smooth gearshift, or really aggressive shifts. You can drive yourself mad with these cars listening for vanos, pinking, etc. Just forget about it and crack on. If it's going to happen it will do regardless.

Have a search on Google, loads of info. Gets worse if diff is shagged.

Do the sales figured reflect a more successful car, or a more successful car market full stop, given the period of time when the mk3 was sold? Is market share not a more accurate guage of success? No idea what the market share figures would be, but simple numbers sold worldwide has so many...

M clunk.

What now?

Doesn't surprise me. UK market for hot hatches has always been a bit unique. And the 197 was beyond s**t [emoji15]

Yes I've driven the 200. It's good, chassis is decent (if not as responsive as the fiesta). Engine isn't powerful enough imo, and the box is poor. The actual changes go through smoothly, and quickly. But the delay from hitting the paddle to the change going through is really poor. Try a vag...

They aren't. But neither are they silly enough to look at cost to buy and dismiss out of hand. The majority of these cars are leased or financed. And when done that way, the difference is far lower, and you get a much higher quality vehicle, an excellent gearbox/engine combo and the badge...

Cars like the fiesta have sold like hot cakes. You/me and any other Cs pleb doesn't decide what people want. The market does. And the market says if people want a fun, small cheap to run hot hatch, 99% buy the fiesta. If people want a refined, more easy to live with hot hatch with paddles...

I look like I've aged more. While the wife looks younger. Which makes me look either lucky, or a pervert. Both of which are true.

Since you 1st mentioned selling the meg, I did a spa trackday in mine, bought the m3, sold the meg. You'll never sell it. Ever.

It's a bit more than that. 10 separate sensors. And for a watch that offers all of that, it's a good price (viewed as a fitness accessory). Not being waterproof makes it a bit pointless though.

I don't agree with that at all. Why can the Japanese and the Koreans build even cheaper cars, that are rattle free and have ridiculous warranties? Not singling out the Ford, it's a problem with a lot of European stuff.

Here you go. How to get the functionality without looking like a massive tryhard c**t. http://gizmodo.com/montblancs-new-e-strap-makes-luxury-watches-a-little-1677054621

Good fella. Suspension is on, few coding options done. Going to fit my brakes after we've done a little French Road trip.

Looks great fella.

With your girly wrists?

Not sure if you're aware chap, but there's one or two photos knocking about. If it's made of unicorn smeg, it's still a cheap looking design imo. I'd rather wear a decent watch and look at my phone as and when required. But everyone's different. I don't use my phone that much these days. Used...

Forgetting wether it's useful etc, it has a big problem for me. It looks awful. Really cheap. It's one thing a tech company taking technology and revolutionising the design (as they did with the iPhone /ios). But applying tech to an object that's already often purchased purely on...
