Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    First link

    Buy either a 1.6 or diesel as the 1.4 is a bit of a Dog. Alternatively buy a Focus - better car

    Absolutley agree, either the 1.6 petrol
    or any of the diesel range......
    if its 1.4 petrol you after the focus is a better motor

    Driven a 1.3 diesel a few times. I think it's a great little yoke. There's a lot of turbo lag so you need to work around this but when the turbo kicks in its a little rocket. Would def be my choice to be honest. It's a Fiat engine (this isn't a bad thing) and I have seen a few of these in taxi's on holidays and stuff with mega mileage on them and still flying away

    The 1.4 is has no go really. Very lacklustre
