No part exchanges. No swaps. No Test pilots. No Tire kickersPurchased the car to use as a Fun daily driver. Car feels very tight and is a blast to drive. Very responsive handling. Extensive file of service work and invoices go with the car. All major service items and age related replacements have been carried out. Clutch and flywheel, chain and tensioner, Supercharger service, head refurbishment all carried out in 2015. Being supercharged the power delivery is very linear and the car pulls very well from low RPM. Engine feels much larger in capacity than a 1. 6. Overall the car is an excellent all round hot hatch. And reminds me of the good old days of Peugeot 205 GTI feeling hot hatch’s.
