Hello Everyone,
Great forum ive been reading it for the last month, i looked at so many cars before i finally settled down with the 225... bmw 1 series, seat leon cupra r, honda civic type r, audi a3 2.0T, alfa gta and probs countless others, infact i didnt know a great deal about the 225 and still dont actually know that much now! I researched the other cars so much but every time there was always something about them that put me off. the BMW was soo downmarket inside and had absolutly no extras and was so expensive. the audi a3 2.0t was a similar story, alfa gta i thought was beautifull but at the end of the day its an alfa and id rather have a car i can depend on. honda civics are driven by every ethnic and rood boy chav and the interior did not do it for me. and the seat leon cupra r has just had the new model out and the old shape didnt excite me as ive seen many on the roads...
I saw a blue 225 on a wednesday at a renault garage in Shirley. It was impressive, cup pack, face lift, leather recaros, cabasse stereo, didnt have zenons even though the dealer said it had. ended up that the 06 car that had done near 7000 miles in 3 months had also been chipped - and the dealer would not budge on the £16,000 asking price, i tried buymynewcar.com and they were excellent but they only had an inferno in stock and i like that colour but i was set on the blue... anyway by the saturday i went to motorpoint and picked up a blue pre face lift 06 with 4 miles on the clock, cd changer and zenons for £13,999 and now im well happy with it im also only 21 and managed to find insurence so that made me even happier! im on cloud 9 atm it really is a great car, not so hard to drive that your teeth shake out and not so soft that its clumbsy... for me its perfect ....smooth when u want it and then when u put your foot down unbelivably brutal!!! and im getting 27mpg! oh happy days
anyway ive got a few photos of my car, ive no idea how i post photos seeing as this is the first forum ive ever registered on so some help with that please!
This forum looks like a collection of top people no doubt i will spend most of my office hours on this!
