    You appear to be starting to struggle, I hope the above helps.

    It really doesn't help much.
    Why does that suggest there is more than just a body kit? Body kits can go for much more than that alone.

    The distance I have to travel is very relevent - driving over 300 miles just for sports seats is very impractical - especially when working 5 days a week and with other commitments at the weekend. Then, what if something goes wrong and I have to take it back to the dealer?

    And I'd really rather you didn't repeat things, they were bad comments in the first place. Repeating them would just be saying the same bad comments over and over again, I'm sure we'd all rather you said something that adds to this thread.

    No, not always but a base model isnt as good as the top of the range model regardless of marques or model. Its better right? Or "more good" if you prefer?

    seems a waste of money to get a sport model on a not very sporty car

    EDIT:

    Finally, no matter what you think you see, I'm not struggling at all. It's like arguing with a 5 year old. You, however, appear to have been struggling since your second post.

    It shouldnt really affect you when you're driving it.

    All auxiliary functions (including heater) will operate normally, and the car will restart if it needs to if say, battery charge drops a bit or cabin temperate drops / rises.

    Its a little disconcerting the first few times but you soon get used to it.

    Not sure if you will get more MPG out of your car because of it in itself, but if you did a lot of city driving you might notice a difference.

    Thanks, that's really helpful.

    I will now leave you guys to continue arguing;)

    edit:you know what that means right? Its latin

    "an argument carried to such lengths that it becomes silly or ridiculous."

    From Latin, meaning “to absurdity.”

    Exactly that. So in essence I have seen cars and what was stated "clearly the only connection with motoring" is in its self and absurd thing to say. So irony is there, but somewhat misplaced by you.

    TD, I realise you are getting your kicks from trolling and I know your command of English is depressingly poor and clearly peck away at the letters on the keyboard with one finger with a thesaurus in your other hand to give yourself some kind of faux status, but if you can't use the English language, why mess up Latin? Flick through Google and see if you can find, "reductio ad absurdum". I'm pretty sure that is what you were groping for.
