Definitely get it back to standard!

This and ideally the standard number plate or a better private one.

The new shape Insignia is quite a handsome car I think. Those wheels though...........

I like it too, very successful set of small tweaks to keep it fresh.

The wheels are ehhh.....interesting

 

[[TW]Fox]

It's not a new shape, it's a facelifted version of the original. No new shape until next year I wouldnt imagine.

My New Motor, not quite as sexy as some here but it's the first one I've ever owned that's done less than 60,000 miles and cost me more than a grand. Very pleased with it although I really have to slow down a bit.

 

[rodenal]

Love it, I tried to bully the Mrs into buying one of these but she was having none of it.

I'd consider one if I ever wanted a cheap little car for myself

 

[geekman]

Did a few cosmetic modifications for Le Mans. We're taking two Jags, hence the Prescott theme

Loving the Panda 100HP, fantastic little cars.

 

[Stovepipes]

I love it too & given that all my other cars have been bangers it's a big change for me plus as my last car (or other one at the moment) is a MK1 1.2 Vauxhall Agila the Fiat feels like Ferrari to me, it's so bloody quick.

It's a bit cramped though especially in the footwell and not as comfortable as my Agila especially when you hit an uneven road, cause of that I'm sure I'll need a spine replacement soon.

Still it puts a smile on my face when I hit the accelerator, it's easy to park, doesn't struggle on the motorway and I'm finally getting to experience much needed working Air con in a car, joy! No more bangers for me.

The ride seems to be the main complaint on those 100HPs, decent small car though.

 

[Westyfield2]

Engine in those 100HPs is quite fun. Mother's got that engine in her Fiat 500. It's pretty gutless low down but then if you give it a load of revs it really comes alive .

 

[mjt]

So I just bought this boring (and rather dirty!) hatchback..

 

[Jez]

Out of interest what made you go for the S3 over its larger siblings?

 

[mjt]

I'd love a V8 S4 but I don't think I could live with the MPG and living where tax is based on engine size makes it prohibitive. £1k+ annual tax, no chance!
3.0 is €750, 3.2 is €1000.

Was considering a V6 TT but again, MPG and tax put me off. That, and I don't think I could get 2 snowboards, luggage and a 6ft gf in there

Granted, it's an acquired taste...

[oHUTCHYo]

Thanks guys. I'm saving some pennies to uprate the headgasket and pistons for peace of mind

 

[bJN]

Been looking forward to seeing some more pictures of it!

 

[loltim]

My New Motor, not quite as sexy as some here but it's the first one I've ever owned that's done less than 60,000 miles and cost me more than a grand.

how much more than a grand was it? these are cool little cars.

 

[Relentless81]

I think he means its the first car he's paid more than a grand for, could be wrong
