FTO driving impressions

Postby Chris_Heilong » Fri Jul 27, 2012 2:13 pm

So I am on the road, both taxed and insured, I had driven the car before but only really had a proper experience today, I love how the bonnet dips so you can see the road just infront of you and the information coming trough the steering wheel is amazing, it tells you exactly whats going on. The size of the car is interesting because from outside it looks long but inside it feels like a 2 seater because the back window is so close to the driver. The acceleration is also really good and settles on around 50kmph which is handy as my other car always wants to go to 60 before settling. Things I dont like are the brakes(which I am going to replace) and Irish roads(fecking speed bumps)
White 98 GX, HID lights, SS Exhaust, 17" BK racing Alloys, lowered Suspension, Veilside rear bumper, illuminated Door handles, Leatherette seats

Tis great, isn't it. You'll have to get it down to Kerry and do the spin from Killarney to Kenmare, be prepared to burn some serious fuel for about an hour and let
it roar around the bends, careful with the sheep, tourists and buses, but still well worth it.

Don't forget the Healy pass tunnel near Kenmare.

Yea, one of the main highlights, I did see the YouTube video and it would make you emotional to say the least.
