A year in..

[Matty_mk6FR]

I’ve had my 95PS FR for just over a year now, and thought I’d give my opinion for anyone who’s interested..

it’s a gorgeous car to look at, I went for the monsoon grey with 18 inch alloys originally, however when they swapped to magnetic grey I wasn’t a fan, so opted for mystery blue instead. Due to this change, I would have been waiting another 2/3 months for the car to be built, however I chose to get a stock one and add the seat accessory 18 inch alloys on, which in my opinion suit the colour really well. LED lights weren’t standard when I specced the car, however I am glad I chose them as an option, as I feel they make the car stand out even more. The interior is worlds apart from its competitors, however I chose the option of having an armrest as I felt it was missing. The infotainment screen is clear and quick to respond, and looks the part. The main gripe I have with this car is the rattles coming from the plastics, which I can’t trace back to anything. And the fact it comes with wind down windows in the back, it’s 2019...
For such a small engine, it drives really well, however I feel a 6th gear wouldn’t be a miss for motorway driving. In terms of size, it’s the perfect car for what I use it for. It’s took a family of 4 to London twice, fits a child seat in no bother, and never skipped a beat in 12 months.

The 95/5 speed combo is easily my favourite VW group 1.0 engine.

I have the 115 and really like the car. Yes it's not perfect but, compared to my previous Fiesta Zetec S it drives as well, is way more economical and better equipped. Thankfully I don't really get any rattles expect on very rough surfaces. I have the standard stock one but really wish I had the LED headlights but this would have been a further 4 - 5 months wait so probably not really worth it. I purchased the arm rest for under £100 and fitted it myself, really adds to the interior I think. Had it for coming up on 2 years now and not had any issues, apart from the seat belt recalls. Not sure what I will go for next but perhaps another one but this time the FR Sport???

I purchased the arm rest from a dealer on here mjr901 though thats in the UK but you can order it via your dealers. It was prett simple to install and there is a guide on here that gives you instructions on how to do it. Makes a massive difference to the car I think.
