It is, admittedly, a bit of a "chav" motor but I love it and for a 1.6 litre (albeit turbocharged) it's an absolute nutter as long as the tarmac is relatively smooth. Once the road surface gets a bit choppy it does snake around a bit if the right foot is over enthusiastic. It does make me smile though although that'll probably stop when I look at the mpg.
