    Fantastic car. I'm actually in my 40s and just bought my second one. I had one a few years ago. It's the only car I've bought twice... Says it all👌
    Throw around a grand and it and it's a completely different animal. I had it stock for 2 weeks.
    Since added Revo stage 1 / ITG intake and a Scorpion 3 inch non Res exhaust. It's now how I want it. Loads of burbles and noises. Just really fun to drive and not to 'asbo' to be a daily.
    Just watch out for the ST modding scene. It's very addictive. One day you buy a £30 short shifter then you'll be googling stage 2 and sports cats 😂

      I’m already very addicted 😂😂. What are the crackles like on the over run. Because I want a few crackles but not pops and bangs.

      I totally understand what your saying lol. I just bought my 2nd one and I'm in my 40s. It's now Stage 2, with Mongoose 3 inch, intercooler, Itg, short shifter and lower torque mount. Genuinely look forward to every journey in it. The way they can carry the power through corners is unreal.

    Enjoy mate it's such a fun car to own! I'm getting rid of mine for a Cooper S soon but I've enjoyed every second of driving it. If you're thinking of tuning it get it over to TRS Performance I can't recommend them enough! Had mine mapped on the dyno at ~235BHP with an induction kit and Milltek catback as supporting mods. All the best!

      I do want to eventually get to stage 3 but that’s expensive to do it in one go. So I’m going to progress with it slowly. But yeah I bet the car is completely different

    I’m getting one next year once I’ve finished paying for my Civic have to pay it off first but very early next year I shall have mine. I can’t wait.😢 it’s gonna be special.
    I know I’m a year behind everyone here but I was thinking of the ST3 fiesta or a golf GTI mark 6 the ST for the same price you’re paying for yours you would get a high mileage 2012 golf it’s a no brainer

      As.long as you don't over stress the engine with way too much power, regularly check oil and don't let them run low on oil. Maintenance yearly. Fuel pump cam buckets do wear so best check it if its higher mileage as these can cause rough running if worn badly. Security is the first thing I'd do. Viper 106 immobiliser is one most choose as the first thing with a disklock. Them a good alarm if funds permit. B
