I'm looking to buy one of these. But im going to be paying more than people paid to lease them brand new which is annoying. And seen as almost all of them were leased they have probably been thrashed.

@R77DVR 14 күн бұрын

Yep. They were giving them away at first and think it’s also why there are lots of base spec ones around too. I have to say I didn’t love this in the end. Found it all too tame and unexciting. Became a bit of a chore to own and keep paying for!

@R77DVR What did you switch for, i dont really like the cupra 300 tbh. Unless its the ST. But slightly out of budget. Bmw 335d touring, but don't really want a diesel. 340i, dont want rwd only and x drive out of budget.

@R77DVR 14 күн бұрын

I actually sold it and downgraded to a Zafira as was moving house and needed something a little bigger! Ultimately though it just didn’t excite me much so I kept a toy/track car (Astra VXR) and later bought an X3 after the Zaf for the main car. Since added a Clio RS200 to the fleet too 🤦🏻‍♂️ Don’t get me wrong these are great, very fast but completely lack engagement and just feel numb. The AWD just kills the fun factor really.

Golf got boring, being too sticky made you like it less. Wouldn’t here be the same story, not because of less excitment, but due fuel consumption?

@R77DVR 5 ай бұрын

This was my mates car. Fuel consumption would be an issue 😂 I have always fancied having my own but they have held value well, have expensive repairs and services as well as expensive road tax too. Will probably be one of the cars I’ve always wanted that I’ll never own due to be having a sensible head on 😂

@@R77DVR was about to go to Germany next week to see/buy audi s3 or vw golf r variant. Both like how they look and both are fun to drive, according to reviews (incl.yours). Next to the drivetrain; was in love with how exhaust look and sound. Well, not anymore! Was also wondering, how come that 2 pipes are always clean while browsing through the adds. Well, now I know. They are just fake a golf r variant, not s3. Saved me from a miss-buy 😁👍

Great track. Arguably one of the best in the UK… don’t be put off by the higher price tag for a day, it’s worth it. Track Obsession usually do a cheaper day there the Monday after download festival in June as there’s an hour less track time but it’s still enough.

Do like the 7.5… Sadly got rid of this as I just wasn’t enjoying it enough. I think I’d like to get back in a 7.5 again but probably a tuned GTI in manual. Not a slate on them at all. It did what it was supposed to do incredibly well!!

Hi mate I saw you have rear camber shims. Just wondering if you worked out how thick a shim for how much camber change? Like if a 1mm shim is out in the bottom two bolts on the rear beam what kind of change will it make and does it effect the toe as well. if you happen to know will save me a lot of stuffing around. Cheers mate. Nice track day vids btw.

@R77DVR 2 жыл бұрын

Hi mate. I never fitted these ones but I’m sure they are the whiteline ones you can buy from there and Courtney sport. They provide an extra - 0.5 degrees of negative camber so mine runs -1.9 sure it gives extra toe also.

A simple remap and a phew cheap modifications is the difference between beating a 333bhp focus st225 and staying up with a bmw m4 and one or too odd porsches. Most definetly a car i will get again.
