Right here are my first S impressions.

The Pros:

The noise, it's sooooo good when you put your foot down, although not as loud as my mini.

Interior is comfortable, but my speakers suck.

Handling is great, went for a blast with my little bro in his mini yesterday, in the wet might I add, easily kept up round a bend and could have had him when I hit the straight if he didn't have to slow down for numpties.

Fantastic car all round.


The Cons

Ummm... electrics??? What were TVR thinking? They are more disorganised than a minis. Wipers went and had to fiddle around for ages to get them working. Fuel gauge does not work at all , neither does oil pressure one. Will fix either today or Saturday.

Very heavy steering when going slowly coupled with poor turning circle makes turning around in my parents drive hard.

Roof leaks a bit. Car has to sit outside. Got a big car cover though, also going to get a shower cap for leaving outside work.

Fuel consumption is bad compared to the 1.4 polo. But it's soo much faster!!

Love it, hope I can keep it.
