Thanks for replies, all relayed back to MrsSib!
Why does she want a 290bhp fwd car?
Because she wants one and can have one, you know how women can think with any purchase! She likes them, is that not a good enough reason?? (sorry, I sound like her now!). I’m not complaining that she wants one, I can already see me enjoying it! Told her the estate version is coming with 4 x 4 – she was interested.
– focus RS…we’re just reaching mid 40s now, great car but designed to attract the younger crowd/boy & girl racers (in our opinion). Also its the next level up, RS3 territory, she wants to stay a bit sensible!
– Golf R….used to have a golf gti, she likes trying different brands!I know, but she does. Lots and lots of them on the road which implies they are a good car, she just wants something ‘different’
– civic type R….like the RS its the appearance which she isn’t keen on, too severe. Use to have an Integra type R in our mid 20s, now that was good fun!
– she’s got a sensible estate at the moment, she just wants to go back to her yoof and have a blast, discreetly!
