I remember now. The bloke selling it is a bit of a rogue, or so they say on the local f/book page. He's also quite rude. I tried 4 or 5 of his cars at his old place 5 years ago. On the 5th visit he said quote...Not you again, you've already tried four ffs!! I advised him to brush up on his sales technique and made a swift exit! :whistle:
 
My daughter also has one , 2019 reg but it is costing her lots on fuel as they are very thirsty, although reliable so far.
In all fairness they are performance cars so surely high fuel consumption is a necessary evil?
The lad has to run his on Super as well!
Not really a car for him but I would guess he knows that already 😉.

Depends if you had any intention of buying one, I wouldn't put up with someone wasting my time just to have a drive in different cars.

Same with my son's fabia, 99 ron..

They will be thirsty Accy, but fast. You don't do enough miles to worry about fuel.

You must do research on them as some versions are money pits for faults, others better. White alloys are a mistake though.

You can check the claimed mileage and spec online, plus insurance, VED etc.
I had an S Works once upon a time. Roller skate but the ride was awful on run flats so make sure it has proper tyres, FSH, all the gubbins like cam belt done. Full Hpi and warranty essential

No, I was a serious buyer. Anyway, I ended up buying one from a dealer who says stuff like "Here's the key, take as long with it as you want" and "whichever one you want to try, let me know and i'll drive it off the forecourt for you". He probably says it through gritted teeth when you ask for your 7th or 8th test drive:whistle:, but he knows how to sell cars!!
