So looks like I'll be picking up my Evo tomorrow. I've gone for the My Life version simply because of it's price and features and the 1.2L engine doesn't seem to harsh, downgrading from a Toyota Glanza to a Golf MK4 1.6L and now the evo so it'll be an interesting driving experience.
I had a look at the "what to look for when picking up your evo thread" and gave it a quick test on a car in the showroom... I must say, some of the niggles in the cabin such as the coin tray, really did shock me, plastics and hinge mechanism are aweful and was also quite annoyed to find that the boot badge doesn't open the boot, seems it not a high enough specced car! I sure hope that the car performs, 4years finance on a difficult car is certainly not enjoyable.
Anyway, main question I have is, did you get to pick a number plate? It seems I just got stuck with one, just missed the 61 plate and got an 11 reg. I can't complain too much though as I've had a turn around time of just over 4 weeks, and 4 of those weeks was spent on approving finance...
So if you got any other tips when picking the car up it would be awesome to hear them, especially on the My Life version.
