Chap, PM me if you fancy comparing it to a S2 106 Rallye...based in St Albans, available whenever you want it.

Size 8 shoe or less

Funny, I managed fine in my S2 106 Rallye with size 11 feet. In fact, it was a fantastic pedal box and no car has better positioned pedals for heel and toe blipping.

Always liked the though of the Swift Sport.

Might add one to the fleet at some point!

Don't feed the troll! (Although by all means feed them some capital letters here and there, or even just the odd bit of punctuation; they could clearly do with some...)

Anyways... set to pick up a white three-door one of these at the weekend, just over three years old with a chunky 70,000 miles on the clock but one owner and mostly motorway miles. Be interesting to see how big miles affect it. Decision was partly due to Matt Bird's praise in these threads. Might even start my own thread...

(Thread bump!)

I wouldn't say 70k is big miles but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised - unless its been abused.

My Mrs has a 90k mile 1.5 GLX and all the controls still feel good. The gear change quality particularly doesn't seem to have suffered as I have been used to with other miley manuals.

Feels (following a shortish test drive) remarkably tight so I don’t think it’s been abused and hope I will be a pleasant experience!

Certainly feels tighter than the 16 year-old 330i with which it will share parking space.

Nice one riggers I’ve had mine from new 66 plate.

I rally rave about these simple fun logical little cr with a bit of kit.

20,000 and counting on mine

My folks recently bought one of these to replace a previous-shape 1.5GLX that was sadly written off when a motorcyclist ran out of talent.

They’re brilliant, back-to-basics fun. The steering on the previous generation was better, but otherwise it’s a faithful little car - and there aren’t a lot of similar alternatives if you want a naturally aspirated hatch.
