Looks good anyway mate . Like the VXR's in that colour.

That's why I risked buying it blind. Brand new with the options its got on it the car was worth £27,000.

Even the glass' guide suggests a resale value of 11,400 before all the sat nav and leather seats etc so 10,999 was very cheap

That's alot of car for little money, a good buy.

Have you been in one? They certainly don't handle like a boat.

Ok not on par with a Zed but I would be happy if I had one of those to thrash around the lanes in.

have you driven them?

Clarkson had all driver aids turned off and had the old 255bhp model.

The 280bhp model had very expensive suspension and chassis upgrades

i like it, not my next car but a nice car, not in the league as my zs

I keep looking at these as they are a lot of car for the money and surely capable of a lot more power for not too much money compared to upping the ZS power.

yep. A 550 quid remap sees 305bhp and much improved power delivery. £1700 sees a whole stainless exhaust system, remap, ngk iridium spark plugs and a k&n panel filter and that's about 330bhp
