Well, happy birthday! It's not a car I'd pick, but it's a good looking car all around.
Can't argue with that! Nice one.Little update..... Girlfriend bought me a personalised plate for my birthday
Will be going to the DVLA office Monday to get it transferred.

Bored so thought I'd update this.
1 year of ownership and still happy with it.
Not done anything to it except general maintenance.
Full set of Disks and Pads - £305
2 tyres fitted a while back - £140
2 tyres going on Monday - £140
Service/Mot - £320, Few niggles but no massive issues.
Insurance came down - £257 fully comp
Tax - £115 I think for the year.
On the whole it's a great car, Never got round to retro fitting Cruise Control but it's still a possibility in the future.
Average over 500 miles every tank no matter how I drive it, Ticked over 60k on the clock so was a low mileage year for me at 19/20k miles.
Car has decent pace for the whole 110bhp now I've got used to how to drive it, Not really any steering feel but it handles quite well IMO, Wheels could do with a refurb and some paint in the bodywork but don't think I'll bother even though I'm constantly outside washing it trying to keep it clean and shiny.
1 niggle I have is the seats are comfy however do not have adjustable lumbar support
Do I look at Golfs and 1 Series whenever I pass them? Yes.
Would I have got the Spec and Mileage I got with this? No.
Car will stay with me a while as I own it outright and need to save up a house deposit so can't go upgrading it anytime soon.

Car is still with me and yes I've thought about selling up a few times but it's got to the point as with the Clio it's worth so little and isn't costing me much to maintain so why sell?
Noticed an oil leak over the past couple of days so need to get that seen to, car is on 108k miles now and will be 10 yrs old early next year so will get the Cambelt changed and anything else it might need whilst at it.
Havent really had any issues to speak of, DPF fault flashes up here and there but then clears itself so no drama, one split hose that cost about £10, otherwise general servicing.
I'm either quite mechanically sympathetic with my cars or lucky as neither the Clio or this ever had too many issues.

So just read my last post and regret tempting fate.
2017 cost me a few quid on this.
Cambelt/Injectors/Front Springs/Tyres few other bits.
Then the occasional DPF fault became more and more regular and the car went in and out if garages a lot replacing all sorts including complete new throttle body, a selection of hoses and it seems like it was actually just the boost solenoid so that was a bit annoying as that was a cheap part compared to the throttle body.
Finally got it all resolved and bought a house then the first weekend in our new home I get an oil pressure low warning.
Took it to the local garage who tell me the oil was filthy and its scored the bearings??
Apparently to sort this would be an engine rebuild? Anyway took it off the road and rolling around in a spare family car.
Will no doubt stick a for sale ad up so if anyone wants to fix it or break it give me a shout.
Hopefully moving on to another exciting car a Volvo V40.

Kind of forgot I had this sitting at my parents house until my Dad just text me asking if I can get it off his driveway.
Anyone want to chuck me a few £'s and take it away to break or repair, Save me the hassle of eBay/Gumtree etc.
Will try and get some pics and up to date info on mileage and stick a for sale up but don't go to the parents that often.
Car is in Suffolk IP19
