So we went and picked ours up today. Took some very quick pics as it was starting to rain, will get better ones at some point soon. The garage also made a mistake when ordering the car and we ended up with full leather!

Excuse the awful parking

I love them! Not sure I like them all one colour tho, kinda spoils the quirky nature. All the ones we have at work have different colour roof. Full leather is nice and i see you upgraded radio, a brilliant product I think! Is it 1.2 or 1.4? Both lovely to drive and the 1.2 feels quick enough for the type of car. Lovely light steering too.

mikenoncorsa - Our local dealership has got them in a few colours. We liked the red but didn't want two red cars really. IMO most of the main colours don't go with the roof choices available so we just stayed all the same colour.

We upgraded the radio and went with a few other things like the winter pack; the heated steering wheel will be good next winter! We got the 1.2 start/stop engine as I use the car to commute 4 miles each way into work everyday at around 10mph average speed. It's replaced a 1.0 Toyota IQ and is nippy enough for what we need it to do.

you'll soon grow tired of the stop start. t first it's great, but sitting at traffic lights and having to go into neutral and pull up the handbrake, then foot off the clutch/brake, then engage first gear, handbrake off and accelerate begins to annoy you after a while

We've got it on the Leon. It's only ever really annoyed me in traffic jams where it starts, you move 2m, it stops, continue on like that. Thankfully it can be turned off. It also saves us £70 on tax each year too.

Dash looks abit like a VXR.

Only thing I think lets 'em down is rear window but apart from that there a good looking car imo.

I really want one but I'd have to do something with the rear of it. Looks like a modernised version of the original ka.

I've driven both BMW's, Honda's, Fiat's and VW's with start'n stop and not one has required use of the handbrake.

why would you not put the handbrake up whilst sat at traffic lights?

Because you have 2 working legs and are not taking a driving test?

Plus it's a completely pointless exercise.

Should have the handbrake on any time you won't be pulling straight off again.

Anyway, nice Adam.

I never use the handbrake because it sticks on and no one can figure out why

What's the quickest model of these?

Not too bad in the combo you got, there is a white one near me that looks pretty good

Still not fully sold on these yet but can see them growing on me
