Tony...before you take that plunge.....have a test drive in one.
..sorry, should have mentioned we have lots of snow here and roads are madly marinated in salt...But I heard the 1,6 roaring (well) in the showroom today...and also started one equipped with a sport exhaust (with side exit) which made it slightly better
Now you start to understand why I humbly need all the knowledge of TM!
