Single best and single worst feature of Fx series

One, and one only, for each - if you can be arsed. To start mine is:

Best - car for all occasions, four door five seater family wagon, foot down growling beast

Worst - traffic updates on Bus (poverty) nav - never again will I spec this sh!t. It is worse than useless as it lures me into traffic problems indicating a clear road

Best - HUD & PPK (yes I know its 2 )
Worst - Now my coding is removed I have to remember to press the start stop button twice to turn off the media playing or else I can open my door and be booming out Take That - oh the shame In other words it should turn off with the engine IMHO, or at least when door opened like you can code.

You'll never get me to agree in the last point Nick - drive and considered one when getting my car but they weren't even in the same league - it is better out and out fun in some ways as it is a bloody good hot hatch - but better overall - no way for me.

Etto though

Thread rule - no more R mentions - this is a golf free zone please !!!!!!

Best - brilliant engine - the mpg defies its all round grunt

Worst- Eco-pro mode, which gives poor throttle response with no perceivable gains.

depending on age/size of child you can get whats called a Bubblebum booster seat, they are really handy in *dads* car and can be tucked away when not needed. they fit great with my 3 kids
