This is on my list of possible commuter cars.

If they did a RS version, I'd be on the waiting list!

Cheers guys, done my research before buying it and can't fault every review I read. Dropped the Milltek cat back to the dealers today and they are putting it on free of charge, think I am more excited than the girlfriend to pick it up Saturday lol 👍

You may need to cable tie the exhaust rubbers as the exhaust tend to swing a bit and knock against the floor

Looks great. Good early signs that you've made a good choice!

Given I'm considering this as a commuter car, I'll be grateful to hear any updates on what it's like as a daily, including real world MPG, if you get chance.

Really like the new motor, Ian on here 'Granby' had a beauty not so long ago I did try and get my Liz interested when he was selling but the force was too strong and she is still driving her discovery

Look forward to future updates

Agree with you 100% about the steering, it is so spot on it makes every other car feel like your driving a barge, i would recommend a stage 1 or 2 remap as it does away with the torque limiting in lower gears and really makes it more fun to drive

Or you could go for the Mountune kit (https://www.mountunestore.com/collec...er-upgrade-kit) which doesn't affect your vehicle warranty, various dealers can fit it and they all seem to charge different prices so good to shop around
