Blimey – a good review!

[Ol' Timer]

I found this on the Auto Express site – I don't know if it was in the magazine. A bizarre selection of cars but, hey, any good review is welcome. Perhaps they got confused and thought they were driving a Fabia.

yeah i just read that in test drive, i was more than shocked, but had to agrea they were right, it is a stonker.

and they chose the best colour too.

YES....I bought the right car

Hmm, tho they are quoting book figures for performance but then only 52.2mpg or something on average, whilst the book says its 55.5mpg!

Nevermind that for 15k you can basically get a Cupra (yes book price says otherwise!)

So if someone was to get the FR they will have better mpg than stated and will be faster! (Tho if they go faster the mpg wont be as good )

Oh, and a nice few pennies left over for that 312mm upgrade and a remap

I've just realised it's a five door, so they've finally discovered that's an option as well. I wondered where they got the price of £13550 from. Nice to see a review where they're not harping on about cheap plastics and a hard ride but emphasize some of the good points.

I saw a Cupra 2004 with 12000 miles on the clock for 9250 ono on the autotrader!

does handle very well these cars!
