Faults:

Only had this car for two days but already found...

1. The seats don't lock properly once adjusted.

2. Tyres occasionally rub on the arches (or something else) when turning near or full lock...

3. Engine fan comes on too regularly ! Is this normal?

4. Brakes are somewhat poor, but suspect my discs are a bit corroded after sitting out in dealers yard for too long.. maybe the new brake pads need to settle in??

General Comments:

The handling is awesome...

This bad boy was built to be chucked into corners and terrorize B roads!

The steering is incredibly responsive and inspires confidence..

Acceleration is fairly good but requires higher revving on occasion.

The acquisition of a VTS is imminent!

Faults:

Only had the car for 6 weeks, but have had a one or two problems.

Overheated when I was driving home from the dealer, no coolant whatsoever when I checked it!!! Apparently it had just had a major service?? Found that there was a small leak, have had to top-up twice since.

Power steering was making a strange noise, topped up the fluid but still makes a little noise, getting it checked out.

General Comments:

Like most of the VTR comments, I have to agree it handles so well.

Insurance group 7!! Brilliant.

Very nippy in and around the city.

Silver looks the business!!

A little disappointed with the lack of extras... no glove box light... no electric mirrors etc.

All in all, a big thumbs up!!!

Faults:

Sun roof seal leaking.

Early ignition diagnostic problems.

Poor paint finish in places.

General Comments:

Not a bad little car. Not so sure about the performance as I ride a big bore motorcycle and only a super car can match that kind of go!

Quite nice handling, but can't be pushed too hard in the wrong conditions.

Not happy with the paint finish, especially on the plastic.

Faults:

1. The fog lights cloud up.

2. The interior light leaks water sometimes from the seal of the aerial.

General Comments:

A superb car, for a 18 year old lad, there's not much quicker you can get for the money. The handling is fantastic and agile. In all, I love it!!!

Faults:

It suffered from a glitch in the BRAIN which caused it to stall when ticking over.

General Comments:

Its good for 135mph and I know of a man who builds superchargers for them, I have heard of a 30% power increase.

Faults:

Tracking is permanently off.

Airbag light keeps flashing having been checked 4 times.

Driver's door makes weird noises!

Wheel arches popped off in wet weather (common problem apparently).

General Comments:

You cannot beat this car!! Fantastic handling, performance and comfort make it the best car in its class and the class above!! :-)

Running costs can be high, but that's only because it turns you into a lead-foot!

Faults:

Brought the car secondhand from a dealer. Kept jumping out of fifth gear. Dealer promptly gave me a courtesy car and replaced the gear.

No other problems.

General Comments:

What a car!!!!

Goes like the wind. Acceleration is amazing, just keeps going. Hard to think that there is a faster model.

Corners like it is on rails. Well designed car that so far has been very reliable.

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

This car combines great performance, with economy and style. Anything else in its class can't compete, and they've tried!!

Makes top of the range Polo, Fiesta and Corsa's all look very pathetic.
