My grandad has a 2014 one of those - one of the last of the previous models. It really is a dreadful car, far worse even than the 1.2 Micra I took my test in. Can think of no redeeming features whatsoever.

Got this as a courtesy car for a couple of days whilst Ford fix a chip on the bonnet that my car had when I took delivery of it.


It is a hateful tin can of a car. Whilst the exterior looks fairly fresh, the interior looks like it should be in a car built 15 years ago.

You might think this is rich coming from someone with a Fiesta but the Fiesta is in a different league to this in terms of build quality.

I think the only nice thing I have to say about is that the steering wheel feels ok to hold : /. That's it.

Why anyone would spend ~£10k on one of these is anyone's guess.


Very nice car :) Whats it like?

I ran a 2008 Aygo for two years before I knew any better.

Of course they are dreadful but the redeeming quality is that they are comically cheap to run.

hehe why is it?

Slow, noisy, sounds like a tin can when you open or shut the doors. The instrument cluster is truly horrendous and the interior looks and feels incredibly cheap. It being a base spec model doesn't help of course.

The steering wheel being alright and the fact it doesn't look too bad exterior wise are the only redeeming features I can think of.

Ah right :) Sorry for not reading it above on this thread.

Hello all, just joined and thought compelled to share some pics of my S3. It's been modified a bit with some coilovers, uprated front disks/pads and a Stage 2+ engine tune, among other things.

Really like that. Have a soft spot for the 5 door version of the S3, think the design looks fantastic, especially in that colour.

Nice, love the colour. What's with the deflectors these days though :confused:

Yeah, the deflectors are not to everyone's taste, but I like to have a window slightly open and not have the wind and water get into the cabin. Having fitted them, I liked the look of them too. They do add some wind noise at higher speeds though - I address that by having the music louder :)
