It's brand new and if I had the money I'd have one straight away, the new shape ones are really nice!!

Has mild sporty looks but would still look good when going to see clients etc.

lol nothing worse.. But i would go for the Astra GSi turbo 9k for a very descent one they sound good and have never heard anything bad from them, Wouldn't be me spending 15k on a car would rather the GSi over the Cupra R but its a close call.

This car is actually faster than a RX-8 :panic: :fcuk:

The 3MPS is quick off the line, accelerating to 60mph in 5.9 seconds, which is faster than the Ford Focus ST, Vauxhall Astra VXR and the VW Golf GTi. Power comes from a 2.3-litre turbocharged engine with 256bhp, which powers it to a top speed of 155mph. It's fun to drive and needs plenty of input from the driver to get the best. All cars get a six-speed gearbox. The first five of these gears need to be worked hard to make steady progress. However, most drivers will find that fifth gear is fine even for cruising. It's only at very high speeds that it's needed.

Chris :)

Congratulations on getting the promotion!

What kind of company is it in?

Sorry if I seem like i'm raining on your parade, but having a company car is a taxable benefit, which is actually assessed on the emissions of the car!

Can't remember the exact workings, but the bigger and better the car, the more tax you get charged on it. Cause effectively it's a form of 'pay' from your company, and the government just love sticking tax on anything they can!
