impressions

Dear all, the (standard) k1 has now gone and have had the TTS for a week so I thought I'd share my impresisons. I won't bore you with the interior, it's been done to death we know. Performance wise the audi is very quick. However it doesn't feel as quick as the k1 did. The main reason for...

hello all, I recently purchased a seat Ibiza 1.2 reference sport. Compared to my fiat punto 1.2 this is a very quick car. i am unsure if there has been any changes as its a sport or if it is just the seats and the gear knob that has been changed and hence called a sport model...

Exeo SE 143, p.exed from an Altea SE. Good points, comfortable to drive, handles well, much quieter in cab, better fuel consumption considering bigger and heavier car. Massive boot, thinking of renting it out! Only have to fill up once a week now - ouch:cry: Dash and controls much higher...

Really like the noise - non res and sounds great, not too much as i feared. I do have one gripe though. The tailpipe trim does not extend far back enough to go under the plastic bumper as the OEM one did. Obviously its only when looking side on. It reminds me of those cheap tail trims you can...

Hi guys i just bought some red decals for my alloys first impressions? http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/6012/mycar.png

Hey guys, Hmm where to start about the Seat Ibiza 1.6 Sport. I've had it nearly 3 weeks now and i'm not overly impressed by it. The interior seems "shaky" for example after a week the display thing on the gear stick came off in my hand, so i had to super glue that back on! The handbrake...

Picked it up last evening from Irfan/tyronne at m1 autos. Top company. Let me take home the k1 even though I didnt have the v5 (log book) for the ibiza I was part exchanging! Anyway first impressions looks wise its a real head turner. All my mates love it and love how people will look out...

Just had the T1s fitted afther using the standard tyre and I can certainly say they are a big improvement. Only driven on them 10 miles and they feel a lot more gripy, feel more detail from the road, quieter and the car now goes around corners a lot smoother. I am very impress so far

Hi Guys As promised on my 'hello' post a week or so ago, I've now had a test drive. The dealer, Kings SEAT in Portsmouth had booked me in for 9am on Saturday - and there waiting for me was the car looking great in white and had also been fitted with the K1 bodykit - looked nice at the...

Just replaced two front Bridgestone Turanza ER300's with Michelin Primacy HP's, don't think there's anything physcological going on but they're quieter and they also feel more comfortable, just hope they last 39500 mile (still legal I may add) like the Bridgestone's did !!!! (and no, i don't...

Having had the car now for a few days, this is my first impressions. As my last car was a Scenic, this is the car I am comparing it to which may be the same for any potential buyers. Got the car, brand new, with a saving of roughly £2500 off list price. The car is standard apart from the...

...as my dad likes to call it. He took one look at my LCR and said it was, I quote, 'f@cking aggressive'. It surely is. Picked it up on Saturday morning, then took it on a 500-mile jaunt from Kent to Chester, via Ellesmere Port and round back home to deepest darkest Essex. Where the...

finally dragged my lazy arse into a seat dealership today to have a proper look at the mk2 up close and personal. they had a standard fr in brisa blue and a standard fr in black, well, standard except for the 18" alloy option. my initial thoughts: - the shape has now grown on me...

I've had my LCR since Friday afternoon and I'm now an 'R'-coholic :D I've tried it out on Motorways, fast A roads and slow B roads and its overall performance has been breathtaking. I feel as if I'm beginning to develop an understanding of how my LCR behaves and she is comfortable with how I...

hi all, had luna grey fr tdi delivered yesterday . had cleaned my focus st3 for 4 hours as it was being driven back to direct seat in newcastle in part ex. The sun came out just as I finished polishing my st3 and it looked stunning in performance blue, 30 mins later the leon pulled up outside...

Collected my new Black Leon TDI FR yesterday and have covered 250 miles so far. First impressions were a headlamp with condensation in it when I collected it but apart from that, and getting used to the suspension it's a joy, no rattles, squeaks, 40 mpg today on a fairly mixed drive (including...

1st impressions Hi All, I just wanted to post up my first impressions of the Leon because I’m so chuffed with the thing :D Got the car last Thursday, it’s a Black x-demo FR TDI with 18s. The car has taken over the mantel of “main car” from my Civic Type-r which as I’m sure you all...

Hi all, I collected my new FR on Friday and all I can say is WOW. I am ultra impressed overall. I have been toying with either a GTi, Focus ST or Leon FR for quite some time now. GTi was my first choice but in South Africa we have a 8-12 month waiting list and demos are selling for 15%...
