They weigh so much that it'd take all 150 hp to move it!
Better option Fabia VRS. Figures make it look like it has the same power but it whooped a Mini Cooper S on the track, especially on the straights. These new turbo diesels are bloody powerful as well as getting 45-50mpg on a normal run

My mate has the skoda and the mini doesn't have the rear leg room with any one even slightly tall in the front. I am anti diesel for some reason.

Nice one mark, I think thats a lupo gti though

Thats a Lupo its smaller and lighter than a Polo, IIRC its 125bhp ish, but the power to weight ratio will be better, also they are rare as hens teeth.

You should try a diesel. I hated them too until I was forced to get one (mileage reasons) and I love it! As long as it's a modern common rail one you'll be amazed at how much torque they kick out. Seat make some pretty sporty cars now too, all based on the VW platforms.
