ok, so this is just a first impression review as i have only just picked the car up from the dealer. its the 1.2 active in spirit grey.love it ! absolutely love it ! ive only done 10 miles so far though lol. a few wee things to get used to i think. the bite point is quite high (as was the demo i drove, so guess its just a characteristic). but it is also quite a sharp bite and gives a fair kick. not that i have really gunned it yet but it does feel pretty nippy for a small engine,even compared to my 1.6 16v skoda fabia i traded in. love the small steering wheel but have set it a little lower than perhaps normal to get better view of dash, but seems comfortable still. a good play about on the touchscreen is still required but sound seems quite good as a few reviews of it not being.
hopefully get some pics up and a better review soon
