Hi Guys,
After a hell of a year with my Focus ST170:
1, New Engine Due To Piston Braking.
2, VVT Problems.
3, Electrical Problems.
4, PDI Checker forgetting to take wooden blokes out from front wheels.
5, Endless noises and nocking sounds.
6, Endless break warping 2 sets of brake pads at £80 a set.
7, ECU Problems were car stalls.
8, Clutch problems.
And So on...... I've decided enough is enought, I really liked the new seat Leon Cupra R but due to the dealer being a "wan**r" and having the test drive from hell with such classic lines as:
"I've been in the job 15 years so can you slow down" :grr:
"
This is a cupra type R don't you know"
"Thiers a roundabout down here" <-- Really I've only lived in the area my whole life never noticed it before.
"Have you got your seatbelt on" <-- ... my arse has not touched seat yet!
And the fact that he would not budge on the price as it was pre-registered meaning I missed out on 2 seat coats a track day, plus tickets to the touring car put me off of what is otherwize a very nice looking car.
As I had so much fun with Mr Seat :censored I decided that I would go take a look at the honda civic Type R, even tho I'm still no sure about the look of the car. This time the test drive consisted of:
" Floor it!" :thumbs
"Don't change up yet"
"Do that mini copper S"
Which was more to my style of things and the car itslef went very well. Compaired to the dash of the Seat the Honda looks abit naff but its great fun to drive. Has anyone else here got a type R had any problems with it as I don't want to go down the same route as the above focus. Else what else should I be looking at with a max spend of £17600?
Cheers Guys.
