1.4 T-Jet Competizione 160 HP

[Code Black]

I currently daily a Mk7 Fiesta Metal Edition and whilst it s been a good car I m now a little bored by it.
Today I test drive a 1.4 T-Jet Competizione 160 HP 2012 which I liked.
I am a bit wary though as I ve never owned a Fiat before. Is there anyone in here that owns or has owned one of these in this spec? I thought the ride was ok but read it was really harsh ( so maybe I didn t go on rough enough roads). What s it like as an ownership proposition?
Really just want to hear some constructive thoughts.

Cheers.

My mrs has a 595 comp. It is quite firm but not unacceptable but I have always ‘sporting’ cars so maybe I’m not the best to ask. She has the Sabelt seats which are pretty rock solid also.
Had no reliability issues and it’s remapped.
Only issue I have using it is the seating position/lack of steering wheel rake adjustment and no where for your left leg, if you fit there’re great fun.
