'Lower Tax version' - a false economy?

[CJRamze]

I've owned a 2006 rev up and now a HR, the HR is night and day better than my previous 350, the gearbox is smoother , its quiter both engine and road noise wise.

 

It feels quicker throughout the rev range and feels just that little bit more special.

 

Mines my weekend car so fuel and tax are not a concern but my daily drive is a 1.9 non turbo 14 year old Seat Ibiza diesel and the Mrs is a 10 year old 1.4 Ibiza petrol.

 

I've had Ibiza cupra, sportrider, Leon cupra R and a newer FR and I've only ever had to service them and buy discs / pads so I'm a tad biased when you say they could go wrong because they probably have as much chance as a 350 does
