Re: Somebody stop me.
Why not start saving for one, then as your bank account increases and they come down in value you can meet part way?

They are 1608 cc 3-cyl Rich. Threes don't sound too bad to me, but I agree flat sixes sound better.

The money we've saved on coffees out, pubs and eating out during lockdown won't quite finance a car change, but it might run to another watch (my other weakness).Orange Cola wrote: ↑Mon May 25, 2020 1:14 pm Why not start saving for one, then as your bank account increases and they come down in value you can meet part way?
Re: Somebody stop me.
I know what they are, they have a turbo too.
I can obviously speak from experience, going from a hugely characterful NA engine to a smaller dull FI one, sound and engine character are far more important than 0-60 times.
But by the same token, not all smaller engines are the same, hence I’d like to know how this one sounds and whether it actually has character or just a load of power.
Re: Somebody stop me.
They're nice, but not sure they're £30k (or £33k with circuit pack) nice.
Maybe in 12-24 months once they've taken a bit of a hit and dropped closer to 20k.

Re: Somebody stop me.
I think they’re value for money compared to some of the other offerings because of its output and AWD, so a Focus ST is in the £30k’s for a Petrol FWD but it’s a larger car with more kit. The similar sized Fiesta ST is cheaper, so I guess the Yaris sits in the upper end between the two. I think a Golf GTi is less power but similar money to the Focus ST? I could be wrong with that.

Re: Somebody stop me.
It's in a pretty unique space. I mean, the only recent competition I can think of is the Audi A1 which was £26k back in 2015 (?). I suspect the spec of that base car was woeful, however - but it does have that cache of the brand.
Without wanting to go off on a tangent, has anyone tried an S1? Always thought with a map to 320bhp they'd be a hoot.
