...Up on the Downs

I've got a new Titanium which is the ecoboost turbo - I agree with Richard Hammond, they are great fun, like driving a cartoon he said. It corners like it's on rails and has a great firm feel to it (I hate flabby girly cars) and the 125 is quick if you keep the revs over 2000 - it's total pants below that. My only criticism is it's geared too high.

Fun but flimsy I would say but not really a guy car in my opinion. Each to their own though read some online reviews.

Bmw 120 diesel: small, fast, economical, tunable, relatively cheap now.

For something even naughtier and cheaper (and more tunable) skids fabia vrs diesel. Seriously quick as standard and a proper base for tuning
