When i had mine pretty much everyone in the owners club ran Toyos instead of the ste and expensive Dunflops.
When I bought my second one it had Dunlops on it - the road noise on the journey home was horrendous! The tyres weren't very old either but they were completely intolerable on the motorway. First thing I did was swap them for Toyos.Leptons said:

Ok, so I'll bite (as nobody else has).
What makes an R26R not a hot hatch? It is a hatchback, and pretty fast (so hot right?), or am I missing something.
Because it’s in a different league? Ok maybe the R26r is more of a crossover car. You seriously can’t see the blur between a Clio Sport/Fiesta ST e.t.c and something like a golf R/A45 AMG?What makes an R26R not a hot hatch? It is a hatchback, and pretty fast (so hot right?), or am I missing something.
Then again, if it stops people from confusing anything older (and slower than the current lot) and calling them "mild" may help.

Lupo certainly looks a hell of a lot nicer there. The Up just looks like a teenagers first car that crashed into Halfords in comparison. Granted though, for its time, the Up is better value / cheaper, but it looks it.Also is it just me or does the Up steering wheel look huge and bus like in comparison with the Lupos?

Best of 8.3 to 60 ( average of 8.5 ) and 25.7 to 100 so the Lupo is still king there with 7.7 and 23.8
Average 38.9 mpg
4 out of 5 stars
