    03 plate Skoda Superb 1.8T Comfort. Really comfy and loads of room.
    Its no slouch either which surprises a few people!
    Same engine as the Audi TT I think - although power to weight ratio the superb obviously wouldn't be close to the TT :)

    With regards to HiD kits - behind a proper projector lens these are almost acceptable
    A good balance IMO is uprated standard bulbs like Phillips Xtreme power.

    Digiphase - instead of admitting you're wrong you continued paper over cracks and being childish. You probably never had hid xenon in your car as you think it's illegal so you don't know 1st hand on the quality of the light. When it's time to sell my old fiesta which you are laughing about (ignornant?childish?) i will put the kit onto the next car.

    How am I wrong, and about what?! I'm not being childish or ignorant. I don't care for the 'quality of the light', I do not wish to have HID Xenons on my car either. I especially wouldn't put such 'attention grabbing' lights on a budget '98 Fiesta.... :rotfl:

    Teribus - do re-read my post.....i do have projector lens. Brightness is a matter of opinion and personal preference. Please dont assume I need the extra brightness....but i want it. Again when you say there is no need for xenon on the road - that is just your opinion, which doesn't matter to me.

    Digiphase you are boring me with your antics, How are you wrong? 'HID xenon lights are illegal' . You are ignorant because you are making fun of my old car and continued a losing argument with childish antics, which makes me think you're just a kid. I will not continue with your silly childish argument.

    We have been driving a 14 year old M reg Fiat Punto. It's absolutely on its last legs so tomorrow we are trading it in for a 2001 mkII Punto.

    I know it's very girly and rubbish of me but I'll probably be a bit weepy when I say goodbye to it, I love my little car, geriatric and temperamental as it is.
  • OMG Angeltreats, I can totally understand! I had an M reg Punto as my first car but he died on me and had to be scrapped :( I love Punto's. They are such fun to drive!

    I drive a Mazda 323 1.8 SE and I love my car!
