So just to be clear you're going from a 112bhp 2.0 to a 105bhp 1.2.

You're right - it's not all about engine size, the output's pretty lame, too.  :grin:
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

It is actually a fair bit quicker than my 8v with a lot better power delivery too. Plus more economical. £95 for a years tax.

I've got the top model bar the GTI so get a lot of nice features but I've added Xenons and an upgraded stereo to the package. Was going to go for the 17" Boavista wheels like in the pic I posted but will get some others when the time is right.

Why didn't you just get one a couple of years old?  More car for the money, plus probably a better engine, all for less.

Some of the deals on newcars are awesome, an example is my van, I got a brand new one cheaper than a less specced year old model... Go figure!

As Jord said, I got a pretty handsome deal tbh. Plus it would be nice to know the car inside out from day one rather than knowing one or two people have had it beforehand.
