    ***The Official Gran Turismo 5 Thread***

    BUT! Just got my code from the rainforest for my Mazda 878B free car! woop woop, it's an insane car. Fully take the point that it can be patched over time. All I would counter that with is that GT2 was probably technically tougher on PS1 hardware, and they knew patches weren't an option, so...

    ***The Official Gran Turismo 5 Thread***

    Well, I've been playing this non-stop since Wednesday! At first I was really disappointed; load times were a joke, shadows looked terrible and the menus are a total mess. But the loading times have reduced to (almost) acceptable levels, and I can handle the shadows issues. I'm still...

    2012

    Saw this last night, absolute waste of time. As pointed out on the radio, the BBFC gave it a 12A rating, which included the guidance - "Contains sustained moderate threat, and one swear word" - shouldn't an end-of-the-world film contain more than 'moderate' threat?! Just cheesy...

    VW Polo SE 1.4 (2001) - decent car?

    hahaha :D So ugly though edit: cheers no original. I think I might need to drive one to see how it compares in driving terms...I've been impressed with the clio's fuel economy, and the polo's sounds good too!

    VW Polo SE 1.4 (2001) - decent car?

    The clio has 58 (so I read) and the vw has 90. I think my maths is wrong but it's still a fair bit more!

    VW Polo SE 1.4 (2001) - decent car?

    I share your incredulity, believe me! I'm going to veto the yaris (hehe) because I don't like it and she'll probably love it, and I'll have to drive a yaris around! So, it's looking like a 3 door fiesta or the polo? I've driven the fiesta and it's a tidy car (was the diesel though, not...

    VW Polo SE 1.4 (2001) - decent car?

    THe boxier Fiestas (ie not the brand new shape, bu the one before) seem to be the same price, 2.5k or so - is that about right? GF update: she's going to need convincing, reaction was 'urgh, it's so square!'

    VW Polo SE 1.4 (2001) - decent car?

    Yeah, I see your point. I wasn't particularly making a decision based on a polo being premium, it just looks decent, isn't too pricey and has 1/3 more power than the clio. Fiesta does look good value though, can she be convinced!

    VW Polo SE 1.4 (2001) - decent car?

    She does, bought the silver clio when she was about 21, and now just hates that she's got THE car all young women buy. Yeah, from looking around it defo seems golfs do cost a lot more than anything else! Partially a style thing, but also the 1.2 clio just doesn't shift at all, it feels...

    VW Polo SE 1.4 (2001) - decent car?

    Hi guys, My missus wants to replace her Clio with something a bit more masculine-looking, like a polo or golf. We've been quoted £3k for the clio, and we looked at a few golfs for similar money, but I came across a polo which comes in at around 2.5k, 1.4 SE from 2001. Is it a decent car...
