"Cracking good fun hot hatch"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing at all in 10,000 miles.

General comments?

Good: Extremely good fun to drive with superbly balanced handling, minimal understeer and fabulous adjustability. Fine brakes, slick close ratio 6 speed gearbox and crisp, powerful, great sounding (167 bhp) engine. Most fun on twisty back roads but also reasonably quiet and refined on motorways. Very good ride for a hot hatch. Elegant understated styling doesn't attract too much unwelcome attention.

Not so good: Build quality only average (below German standards).

Turning circle to the right is huge.

Seats reasonably comfortable, but mounted too high and lack lateral support when really pressing on.

I normally drive a 156 - had the pleasure of driving a GTi-6 at a track day recently. WOW!!! - it's a real rocketship - point it and go! Also, sounds fantastic at the top end - I want one now!!!
