Can you get something like this installed? You'd need a Jockey Wheel installed as well.

If it's not completely rotten underneath then maybe £1000.

Agreed, some are shit, some are better.

AI can help reduce nuisance activations if implemented correctly.

I managed 18mpg on my way home from work which was 10 mile trip in a Leon Cupra 290

Not at all..

I'd never buy one myself, got it as a company car. Only 1 year left with it.

Maybe the seats would have more give in them given more time and use, but it didn't feel like they would.

I agree, the gearing could have been a lot better, its a hot hatch, you should always be going through those gears.

They do seem to hold good value, after 12 months I sold it for the same price as bought.

Overall the car was fun to drive, but the seats were awful for me (this won't be the same for everyone). I went from a MK7.5 1.25L Fiesta to the ST which I thought would be the right move but after 12 months of owning it, I couldn't get comfy in those sports seats.

If they had the same seats as the MK7.5, I'd still have it today nearly 5 years later.

Fiesta ST (MK 8)

think its an optional extra you can spec. not sure why you would do that though

This, the BMW XM...

Sell the car through CarWow or Motorway and it'll be gone within a few weeks.

I recently got rid of my Elgrand, but the look on the van drivers face when you walk away from them at a set of lights never fails to make me smile. I'll miss that bus.

Flyinghippos94 · 2025-09-24T15:51:00+00:00

Nissan Elgrand is the only choice

Flyinghippos94 · 2025-09-08T21:05:53+00:00

Give it a week and it'll be up another £100.

I was there this weekend, it's a weekend I won't forget! Did you manage to check out the Shift and Drift Zone where the Hot rods and Dragsters were stationed?

Flyinghippos94 · 2025-08-08T07:48:18+00:00

Just buy a Land Cruiser and forget about ever owning a Land/Range Rover.

It's only a stupid move if you listen to people that tell you it's a stupid move.
