Yep, think about the throttle and it drops!!

Did a quick calc, £10 over 120 miles @ £1.15 per litre is 62mpg. Mental.

I'd work it out properly, might even be more than the trip says! Mine hasn't budged from 28mpg, worked it out manually several times and I'm getting 33mpg average!

Big pinch of salt. As ive found with all my clios, the trip is usually off. 200 is the worst for it, under-reads by about 5mpg.

Lotus is a hero's brand.

Sorry, but your flat out wrong. The golf gti is a belter of a car. The only meg that is better to drive is the r26, the golf is a better car, and a better hot hatch than all the other megs. As an overall car the golf (especially in ed30 guise) is just a better car than all the megs, fact.

Hideous looking version of a hideous car. Those wheels!

Or ktec will buy all the stock and sell it to us for more ;).

Good as the frs is, I have no desire to own one. Was very close to ordering a 250 over a 200, good choice fella.

It's not as usable though. As per, you either love vtec, or bemoan the lack of low down torque.

Oft. Agreed though! All hot hatches generally have w**k driving positions.

And the handling.

Yep. Packing meat as well.

Seriously. I drive flat out.

Whichever I'm driving.

There's a free gps based app for nokia n95 (and similar) that gives split accel times.

Lots of grip, but incredibly tail happy. But it's controllable and smooth. Once used to it, no other modern fwd car will give you the same feeling.

Seats are very, very comfortable. The wheel looks shite, but it's a good size! Nothing for me matches the LOOS in the 306!

Have you considered a 306gti? Plenty about, epic to drive.

No f**king way lol. The only suspension change I'd consider would be kw v3's, the cup setup isn't for me.

Re: Trophy #433 197 wheel would be decent. No smaller, but higher quality and dished so it's closer iirc. Get to keep your airbag and cruise buttons etc.

That was me fella, flamer looked well!

We'll find out!

No doubt the Williams is probably the better drivers car. But it is an older car, so interior etc feels like a different era. Both could potentially be a money pit, but I always feel safer with the newer option in that respect. Of all the 1*2's I owned, the ph1 was my favourite all things...

180ish bhp.

I think you can see fluid leakage on the sachs, but you'll get more responses in cliotrophy

Repost, and there's no way it's 205!

Great plate, only think that doesn't work (imo) is the white on the tyres. Otherwise stunning.

Mintex pads are crap.

As an all round car, it's a better car than the mk2's. But as a hothatch, it's not. The Trophy is more fun, and more feelsome. In years to come when people sit around making top3 lists, the Trophy will be there. None of the mk3's will (so far).
