Congratulations on your purchase. What equipment does it come with?

 

[Meaker]

Thanks Ricochet

The same as the standard SE trim (electric windows, electric adjust door mirrors with heaters, air conditioning, 6 speakers, Bluetooth, rear parking sensors, cruise control, steering wheel audio/media controls, lane departure warning)

But it also gets:

1.0 Turbo engine (normally an upgrade option)
16" alloy wheels
7" touchscreen navigation system with 7 year tomtom live subscription and 10 years of map updates with reversing camera.
Automatic headlights
Wing mirror mounted indicators

I grabbed the red pearl paint version.

All for a slight bit less than the SE trim. It will cost £20 a year to tax after the first year, the insurers were not too spooked by the turbo in the name either, about £100 more per year over the i10.

Can a 1l overtake?

 

[dacads]

Can a 1l overtake?

It's a turbo.. and 99BHP so why not

 

[Meaker]

The 0-62 for the 99BHP is 10.7 seconds (10.2 for the 1.0 119BHP but only in premium trim and above costing and extra 3k total).

Nothing to go racing on but quick enough on the motorway especially coming from a 1.2 12.3 second 0-62.

Adz once again making me envious wouldn't know what car to take out each day...

Also are we still doing dirty bum photos? Ok it still looks silver, I just felt left out.

 

[grudas]

Late to the party but a pretty bum won't hurt haha!

Can a 1l overtake?

My lovely 1l with 66bhp when new (so 12 now) can overtake easily when most people on the motorway are scared of going over 50, might take 5 miles to do it but thankfully I'm on the motorway for about 10.

Ha! Wanted desperately to go on a quick Euro jaunt in it so took it for a short but spirited drive to Bruges and Ypres. Very much looking forward to doing a full Euro trip in it in spring next year

 

[RSR]

What about a clean one?

 

[wedrum]

that looks amazing RSR well done mate.

Do you guys use winter tyres? I've been losing traction a lot since the weather has turned damp and wet.

 

[paradigm]

There has only really been 7-10 days so far that have been cold enough for winter tyres to make any sense.

I'd suggest driving to the conditions rather than looking for better wet weather performance. I've not noticed any particular traction problems.

Got a DSG?

Got a DSG?

He has but it makes no difference to his point.

If you are having issues it's because your tyres are not that great.

I am having issues this year for the first time - but it's not because they are not winter it's just because they are not very good.

 

[Biffa]

Just switched to my winters last week. Course it then chose to warm up.

 

[Nevakonaza]

Nice!

Why not. At least it was a good reason for not going top piston heads on Sunday. I really need to do a trip in something other then that diesel pug some time.
