the words 'hot hatch' and 'comfort' dont belong in the same sentence i'm afraid. get a Type S if thats what you want!

Got 5 years no claims so the insurance is ok as well which is a bonus. |

With all the driving I do I was tempted by the Type S diesel, but it was disappointing compared to the type R, and has some awful textured plastic trim making it look tacky.
The type R is more refined than the old one but can still be booted about and looks nice too, so am going down that route. Dealers offered 17,500 for the GT which aint a bad deal, dealers offered it for 18,000 with the 19" inch rage alloys on, I'm tempted but need to consider the cost of replacement tyres when their needed really, £200 a tyre is pretty steep.
