"Mature wolf in sheep's clothing"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

On delivery the metallic paint had some small marks on the front of the roof underneath the lacquer, both pointed out and corrected by the dealer. The downside is that the dealer got to do the first 100 miles in the car.

A few alerts on the display regarding the immobiliser system, although all seems fine.

General comments?

This has got to be one of the most precise handling cars I`ve owned, and that includes most of the `hot hatches`, it corners faster than I dare!

Performance feels a bit mundane for its 167 HP.

Most of the toys, such as automatic light and wipers, work instinctively and just manage to become useful rather than gimmick.

Adequate stereo system - first one I`ve not felt inclined to replace.

I bought with a substantial discount, (over £4k), I would have not considered it otherwise.

Beware of the insurance cost..

Had a second hand vts 2 years ago. Your description is spot on. It was a great car. A drivers car that the family will like.
