Just got home in the Jazz - it has the 7 speed paddle change. I've got it till thursday to play with it. ;D Paddles are on steering wheel at 9 and 3 o'clock positions. Left one drops down the gears, right one goes up the gears.

its the same technology as the one in the f1 and ferrari's tho obviously not as good........but never the less, its still to play with........u can have the "normal" gearbox but with the push of a button, u can switch to the paddleshift.
blackpug, dont they look cool too!

Go for the big-brake option on the Atom - makes a world of difference...

My dad had his car in once for some work. They gave him an Escort RS2000 courtesy car.(this was about 10 years ago). Fast in straight line........not as good handling as my 106 Rallye.

i think as a hire car, one of the best ones gotta be a S320 for a e-class driver.........he was loving it!!.... tho my personal fav(s) and the one i hate see given to stupid peps who are not gonna drive it like it shd is the astra GSi, corolla t-sport, zafira GSi and CTR.........makes me cry that its being wasted on peps not using its potential (legally of course!!)
