Took a couple of pictures today when I went up to sign on the dotted line. I'll be picking it up on the 15th of the month...

I know it's not a Fiat But I love it. I don't know who said this car struggles in corners or whatever but that's absolute bullsh*t.

I do know that the british VXR had it's suspension tweaked for our roads from the european version.

I thought my Abarth had some poke but this is just eye popping

Are you having that sticker on the bonnet?

i do like them, only negative thing i've heard about them is them having too much power.

i think my brother is looking at buying one when his punto is sold.

No such thing as "too much power", just "not enough control"....

Love the centre exhaust whats it like in the back for space for the kids??

Looks awesome mate, not actually seen one of these on the road yet, but seen hundreds of ST's, so IMO good choice
If you don't mind me asking how much did it set you back?

you absolute b**tard!!!

im envious.... Seriously tho, good choice, I think they're awesome!

I probably shouldn't admit this, but I like it. Best of luck with it Mark and don't forget to stick around the forum. Sure GM and Fiat had a thing going for a while so there might be some Fiat parts in that car!

I am seriously thinking about asking them to leave the decals on it, I think they look great

arc, you can never have too much power :slayer: Tell your brother to go for it, they are just awsome to drive

I wont let you leave, i need someone to banter with when football topics arise

mmmm, but dubious about that suggestion mate, think it looks a bit tacky IMO. But its your car, so who cares what i think! lol

Nice car, very nice car, looks much better than the Focus ST nice choice

Back space is fine to be honest, it's a little bit smaller in the back than the Stilo but the seats are more defined, there's 3 clear seats in the back so they each have their space Legroom is a little bit less too but nothing for me to worry about.

The car is the Demo model but it's only done 400 miles, I paid £17,900 with the 19inch wheels, it's alarmed too. They are supergaurding it this week. I could have picked it up sooner but I wanted to get all the money sorted out so I could pay on the day and forget about the costs etc.

Thanks for ALL the comments peeps, much appreciated. I think a poll may be needed for the decals choice But the way I see it, tacky or not, they are not trying to make the car something it's not so at least they are fitting for the car :chin:

I am pretty shocked still to be honest. Yes I was looking at new cars, but I actually thought I was dreaming more than anything else and that the way things had been going I was never gonna get one sorted. Now I have it and I can't stop grinning every time I talk

Oh yes, nearly forgot. I am not going anywhere guys. This is my home here

As for the power and not enough control, i'll take you guys for a run sometime, you'll see it's perfectly fine under power. Especially in the bends

very nice car KoA

will make sure i tell stilosporting about it when he calls from germany!! looks brill and i like the red too

think the decals look nice too, they are for the car and so dont look out of place.

i didnt mean the tacky comment in a nasty way Koa, i just think subtlety is best when it comes to graphics on cars...

i dont think they're bad, just a bit OTT.

still a cool car

Graphics tend to attract unwanted attention in my experience, including people trying to force you off the road.

Good luck with the new car though

Looks fantastic :worship: I hope you enjoy it! My opinion of the decals is NO! ruins the look of the car IMO.
