Whats the job - the school run :devil:

theyre ok i suppose cant understand why they did a 1.7 petrol though especially with a 1.6 in the range

Hope it gets round roundabouts ok

 

[herpsuk]

yeh TC is a bit of an arse, wil just have to give it some more :devil:

nah not school run abouts, Insolvency

The 1.6 They do is a diesel...

They do
1.5 Petrol
1.7 Petrol
2.0 Petrol
2.0 Turbo Petrol
1.5 CDI
1.8 CDI
2.0 CDI

Isnt a bad engine tbh, rev happy is the way to describe it and it just keeps pulling and pulling even after its peak power .....

anyways its my work car, got a project car being sorted, so all good

when they first came out many moons ago, easyrentacar had them on offer, so i took one for 5 days up to north wales, brand new, 12 miles on the clock on collection, very well put together, pulled well, even fully laden, i think it was an A160.....petrol...coped very well with snowdonia, handled ok, comfy, and very roomy for overall size. i liked the styling, more than the current one, but overall i guess they are very similar underneath, and i think a pretty good car. not a speedster, just does what it does, i think the only thing that could be termed a fault is pricing, back then they were more the "premium" side of pricing

Whats the job - the school run :devil:

was just going to post some thing like that :devil:

 

[beau]

also something with an image/badge because of the job.

so your a 'snob' now

i also find it odd a 19 yr old liking a car like that.... if i wanted a snobs car id of gone for a bmw coupe or something slightly sporty/ fitting in for a younger drive, not something for a school mum who's children are at a private school.

Such a shame to see yet another Non-Fiat Members Motors thread go t*ts up

Looks like a pretty decent motor dude, I'm sure it will look right in the car park at your new work

I still get loads of ribbing at work for buying my 4th Fiat lol

was tits up from the off, you didn't see what he wrote before the edit.
if non fiat people want to stay and be nice like some we have then fine, but we wont put up with the abusive few who think because they have a non fiat it gives them the right to use excessive profanity, and flame our staff and members and/or our cars
