Faults:

The Clutch has recently got worn, but was cheap to repair.

The Driver's seat has worn slightly on the left arm causing a hole.

Everything else is fine.

General Comments:

This is a great car it's very comfortable and relaxing.

The performance is extremely impressive for a 1400cc. I make the 0-60 time about 8.8 seconds with a top speed of 118mph and brake Horse Power of 100+.

It really gets up to speed and before you know it your half way to where your going!.

This car really takes you to the limit!

Faults:

Nothing as of yet, however I am having problems with a leaking rear window at the moment.

General Comments:

This car is fantastic. The engine is addictive and begs you to hammer it every time you press the accelerator. It easily out performs the so called legends that are the 205 1.9 GTi and the Golf GTI 16v and I would also argue that it handles better. It sometimes feels like you will never be able to put yourself off the road, the grip, thanks to double wishbone's all round, is endless.

Fuel economy is a joke for a car as quick as this. I can return 38 mpg on fast motorway trips and can easily return 30+ mpg combined.

Another aspect of this car which is a bargain is the insurance premium. The car is grouped as a 12 for some bizarre reason, which makes insurance great value for a car that can achieve 0-60 in 7.5 sec and 127 mph top. I am twenty and because of the relatively low insurance group, insuring it is made possible.

My car has done just under 111,000 miles and the engine is still exceptionally sweet, in fact in the 4,000 miles I have covered so far I could swear that it has loosened up further!

The 1.6i-VT has an unbeatable balance of performance and value, I truly can't think of a car that can better it.
