The boot is big but I never really used the tourer for carrying things, but you'll be wanting the split fold seats and incredibly they are an option with them you can get all sorts of stuff in.

An F10 has huge boot space! Even in the passenger rear I could fit a road bike without the folding seats.

Its a practical every day car...just not a Touring You know you want to.

That's rather nice and they do sound absolutely amazing. I didn't realise they depreciated so much, a second hand one looks like a good alternative to the M5.

I have a test drive booked on a Civic Type R on Thursday. Will report back after.

Now I just need to find a fake Burberry baseball cap.

I can loan you one.

I just really like hot hatches.

Even more now that you get 200bhp out of a fiesta / Clio sized car.

The Wife's 208 GTI is at 208 BHP, but will go to about 249bhp come the summer.

Great power to weight for a 1160kg car.



I would prefer the Focus RS to the Civic TBH.


Check out the door edges where the trim joins, the civics R's we looked at had terrible joins / sharp edges.

Yeah, it's highly unlikely that I will buy a civic. Most likely to be an m135i if I go the hot hatch route. The CTR has just worked its way under my skin somehow? I hated it when it first came out...

I would love a focus rs... But the wait is going to be over a year I recon...

Decided to take a few snaps of the oxford green fully loaded m3 this morning:





From a distance it doesn't like much, think it's a very dark shade of the british racing green. £2340 was the cost of the pleasure of having an individual paint.

For me it's a 6 Series Coupe, 640i, SE would do, (must be getting older).

I sat in a X6 40d the other day and I loved it, had the multi function display and full leather with contrasting trim.

I really like them, it looked exactly like this (apart from that doesn't have the multi function display):

This week I have been obsessed with my own car as it rolled into paint and finally has now been built.

Not long now and I can't wait
