Anyone on here had one of these?

Someone is offering me one of these for the saxo as a swap and I'm very interested,I've always wanted one but I was actually looking for an economical car but I'm seriously tempted by this and I'm thinking I should go for it.

I've not got much info other than a small description and one picture so once i get more info I'll be able to decide more easily but what do you lot think?

Depends on what your Saxo is like,

The Golf is a better built car, and does get good mpg. However it handles like an absolute boat, no better still a yacht. Also the Golf would have to be on the lower end of the spectrum to want to swap for a Saxo. Unless your Saxo is ping ding.

My mums o/h has one, pile of shite if you ask me. Real mundane looking, especially in silver which he has.

However, if you aren't a big kid like me, and haven't got shit loads of wonga, well it's actually good at just being a car. IMO if you remove the GTi badge, sweet.

Obviously everyone knows they can be tuned easily and get up to like 240 bhp on a K03s. Go ko4 etc and boom got a pretty fwacking lethal straight line.

Well tbh I ain't fussed about handling,and my saxo ain't top notch.......

But like you say as for being just a car that would suit me.....and its got back seats and the missus will drive it.

Fuck knows,I'll find out a bit more and take it from there.

Basically the same as your a3 but faster. Remap it to just under 200bhp

I bought a bike again so I was heading more for a economical car,I put an ad on swapz for one and this was offered to me.

And the missus is up the duff again so the saxo won't be practical if the a3 snuffs it so............
