Tangoed Works
with 4k miles on clock, and I am sorry to say, but I think its total w**k. Its not what I would consider a hot hatch at all. Even in first gear you have to press for a good few seconds before the car picks up to any sort of pace. The steering is much lighter than I imagined and the seats are too soft (saying that I am used to Cobra Misanos).
Overall, the car feels too big, no where near as manouverable as the 182 and seriously lacking in pace. I understand that the car needs to be worked hard to get the most from it, but if you need to move quickly to get out of a situation, it feels exactly the same as my mates 1.4 Astra!
Plus points, are the exhaust note, absolutley cracking, only noisy when you boot it and not boomy at all. Sharp brakes, inital bit on my 182 feels just as good, but Im sure the Brembos will still be holding firm after some repeated hard stops where the 182 pedal would have gone soft. The cruising at 70 didnt seem as intrusive as other people have suggested on here.
For 16k? Wouldnt say its over priced, but definately not for me as it didnt get my heart racing one bit.
